The US State Department said that they allow Ukraine to strike military targets deep behind Russian lines with American weapons, because this is a matter of common sense.

United States Deputy Secretary of State for Political Affairs John Bass said this at a briefing in Kyiv.

Strikes deep behind Russian lines

Bass was asked if the United States could allow the use of long-range American ATACMS missiles for strikes against Russia.< /p>

I would just go back to the comments of my colleague Jake Sullivan (National Security Adviser to the US President – Channel 24), who said that this is not a question geography, it’s a matter of common sense,” he replied.

So the United States wants to make sure that Russia cannot use its territory “as a refuge from which it can attack Ukrainian forces.”

Previously, the Chairman of the Council of Reservists of the Ground Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Ivan Timochko, said that the permission of the Ukrainian partners to use their weapons on Russian territory influenced the conduct of hostilities by the occupiers. The enemy has to change war tactics, logistics, the placement of warehouses and the formation of military centers.
