Warning to Ukraine
Biden: No attacks on Russia with US weapons
According to Joe Biden, the use of US weapons against targets in Russia should not be permitted. This was announced by the US President in an interview on Thursday. Ukraine would only be allowed to use the weapons in border areas.
US President Joe Biden has reiterated that the weapons supplied by his country to Ukraine should not be used for attacks on Moscow or other targets inside Russia.
"Just across the border"
These weapons may only be used for attacks in Russia "just across the border" if Ukrainian targets are attacked from these Russian border areas, Biden said in an interview for the ABC News channel, excerpts of which were published on Thursday.
Attacks with US weapons on targets "200 miles (about 320 kilometers) inside Russia" or on Moscow "or on the Kremlin" are not permitted, Biden stressed.
Russian offensive in Kharkiv
In response to an offensive launched by Russian troops in the north-eastern region of Kharkiv, the USA, Germany and other Western countries have in recent days allowed Ukraine to use weapons supplied by them against targets in the Russian border region for the first time since the start of the war.
When this decision was announced last Thursday, a government representative in Washington made it clear that this permission only applied to counter-attacks in defense of the Kharkiv region.
Putin threatens
In response, Russian President Vladimir Putin nevertheless threatened to equip other countries with Russian weapons, which could then be directed against Western targets.
