The EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs Josep Borrell said that the United States did indeed allow Ukraine to use American weapons to strike deep into Russia.
He stated this at a press conference following a meeting of foreign ministers, but did not name the source of his information.

— We are talking about a radius of 300 kilometers. This is not much, if we talk about distance, it is not a large distance, it does not go far into the country, but this is the administration's decision.
Why did they make this decision now and not before the elections? I don't know, — Borrell explained.
Also, according to him, there is no consensus in European countries on whether to limit the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the use of Western weapons. Borrell stressed that each state makes such a decision on its own.
Recall that the day before, the media reported that White House chief Joe Biden had finally decided to grant Ukraine the right to use US weapons to strike Russian territory.
The Biden administration itself did not directly confirm permission to use long-range weapons.
Later, the Western press indicated that this decision only concerns the Kursk region, where North Korean troops are currently deployed.
