Blinken in Kyiv stated that the US prohibits Ukraine from using American weapons outside its internationally recognized borders

The United States is prohibiting Ukraine from striking with American weapons beyond its internationally recognized borders.

This was stated by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken in Kyiv.

“We do not encourage or allow strikes outside of Ukraine,” Blinken said, referring to strikes on Russian territory.

However, he added that Ukraine “must decide for itself how to conduct this war, which is being fought to defend its freedom and sovereignty.”

Earlier, American media reported that a delegation of Ukrainian MPs is currently in Washington lobbying for the lifting of the ban on strikes on Russian territory with American weapons.

However, as reported by Politico, the White House has not changed its stance on this matter.
