Current US policy prohibiting Ukraine from using US-provided weapons inside Russia is severely compromising Ukraine’s ability to defend itself from the renewed Russian incursion in Kharkiv. Russia has amassed a ground invasion force and it’s launching glide bombs and artillery across the border -ISW

1. Current US policy prohibiting Ukraine from using US-provided weapons in the territory of Russia is severely compromising Ukraine’s ability to defend itself against the renewed cross-border invasion Russia has recently launched in Kharkiv Oblast. US policy has effectively created a vast sanctuary in which Russia has been able to amass its ground invasion force and from which it is launching glide bombs and other long-range strike systems in support of its renewed invasion. Whatever the merits of this US policy before the Russian assault on Kharkiv Oblast began, it should be modified immediately to reflect the urgent realities of the current situation.

2. Use our weapons however Ukraine wants.

3. Didn’t USA lift these limitations recently?

4. Hopefully, things change, but in the meantime, send some stormshadows to greet the ground forces in Russia. The British don’t mind

5. I was talking about it from the very beginning, that those limitations pretty much makes impossible even in theory to free all territory, as near the border ruzians will have a safe zone.

6. If Russia were smart then they’d concentrate their offensive along their whole border with Ukraine and just hold the line elsewhere along the front line in Donetsk and Luhansk. That way they wouldnt have to worry about their troop concentrations getting hit with Himars and ATACMS. But we know that they arent that smart so thats good.

7. Weapons free.

8. i swear i read articles that said they could use weapons how ever they want
