Two days earlier, Politico, citing three sources, reported that Ukraine was to present senior US officials with a list of potential targets in Russia that kyiv could attack if Washington lifted restrictions on the use of long-range weapons. A CNN source also spoke about this.
The White House said Washington and kyiv are negotiating the use of U.S. weapons on Russian territory in the event of an “imminent threat.” Ukraine currently has limited permission.
The Russian Foreign Ministry has concluded that the United States wants to give kyiv carte blanche to attack Russian regions with American weapons, RBC explains.
