US does not encourage Ukraine to hit targets in Russia with US weapons but it is decision for Kyiv to make, Blinken says
The US does not encourage Ukraine to strike targets inside Russia with US-supplied weapons but believes it is a decision Kyiv should make for itself, secretary of state Antony Blinken said on Wednesday.
He was speaking at a press conference in Kyiv after weeks of regular missile and drone strikes across Russia that Ukraine has not officially confirmed.
Significant change in policy if they don't backtrack on this and about fucking time, yet again a complete waste of lives over dumb policies which are eventually removed months/years later, every single damn time. Weakness and escalation management that only benefits Russia which allows Russia to adapt and recover and the situation to get to breaking point for Ukraine every single time.
Though I still remain cautious until I see UK/US weapons actually striking Russia because I still have my doubts after how much weakness the West has shown, I could imagine a scenario of them saying something differently in private such as "it is your decision to make but if you do, then we will stop supplying you with our weapons" or the HIMARS could be disabled from striking Russia in the first place.
Until I see HIMARS striking Russian positions in Russia then I remain cautiously optimistic.
