Ukrainian official pushes for US to lift ban on using American weapons to hit targets in Russia – Europe live

Oleksandr Lytvynenko, secretary of Ukraine’s national security and defence council, says Washington should lift ‘absolutely unfair’ ban

Oleksandr Lytvynenko, the secretary of Ukraine’s national security and defence council, told the Financial Times that Washington should lift its “absolutely unfair” ban on the Ukrainian armed forces using American-supplied weapons to strike targets inside Russia.

Lytvynenko said “it would be beneficial” for Kyiv if the Biden administration lifted that restriction.
