Ukraine uses US weapons to strike inside Russia, according to a senator and a Western official

Associated Press  

WASHINGTON — Ukraine has used U.S. weapons to strike inside Russia in recent days, according to a U.S. senator and a Western official familiar with the matter. The weapons were used under recently approved guidance from President Joe Biden allowing American arms to be used to hit targets inside Russia for the limited purpose of defending Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city. Russian President Vladimir Putin warned Germany on Wednesday that the use of its weapons by Ukraine to strike inside Russia would mark a “dangerous step,” and he said Moscow could, in turn, provide long-range arms to others to strike Western targets. A readout from the state-run Qatar News Agency described the men as discussing ways “to stop the fighting, protect civilians, and keep all channels of communication open to resolve the crisis through dialogue and diplomatic means.” Rounds said he agreed with Biden’s decision to allow U.S. weapons to be used for strikes against Russia under limited circumstances.
