The US State Department has stated that if Russia tries to expand the current front in Ukraine, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will be allowed to fire at a greater distance, including with long-range ATACMS missiles, this was stated by Assistant Secretary of State for European Affairs James O'Brien during a hearing at the House Committee on International Relations, APA reports citing.
According to US lawmakers, the White House is currently restricting the use of US weapons in Russia within 100 kilometers of the Ukrainian border.
"Now, as Jake Sullivan (US National Security Advisor - ed.) said last week, if Russia tries to expand the front, Ukraine will be allowed to reach targets at a greater distance," O'Brien said.
The State Department noted that Russia is losing its ability to attack due to Ukraine's destruction of Russian forces near its borders.
O'Brien stressed that the US priority was to provide weapons and concentrate them "in the areas of greatest need".
"We are seeing a dramatic change in Russia's ability to sustain its campaign against Ukraine due to the loss of facilities in the area where it is allowed to fire," he added.
