Biden forbids Ukrainian use of American weapons against Moscow or Kremlin.

Joe Biden, the President of the United States, has verified that weapons given by the US to Ukraine can't be utilized for assaults on Moscow or other targets within Russia. Instead, these arms are only permissible to strike targets "across the border" at Russian border locations if Ukrainian objectives are struck from the Russian side.

No strikes on targets "200 miles (around 320 kilometers) inside Russia" or on Moscow "or the Kremlin" are permitted, Biden stated during an interview with US broadcaster ABC News, released on Thursday.

In retaliation to a Russian offense in the northeastern region of Kharkiv, the US, Germany, and other Western nations have provided Ukraine permission for the first time since the commencement of the war to utilize the weapons they received from these nations against Russian border area objectives.

During the announcement of this selection, a representative from the US government had clarified on Thursday last week that this authorization would just apply to countersattacks to defend the Kharkiv region. Consequently, Russian President Vladimir Putin reacted to this by threatening to give other countries Russian arms that might potentially be aimed at Western targets.
