‘No sense’ in allowing Ukraine to strike Moscow - Biden

YEREVAN, JULY 12, ARMENPRESS. U.S. President Joe Biden sees no sense in allowing Ukraine to strike Moscow, he said at a news conference on Thursday. 

Biden said the United States had allowed Zelenskiy to use American weapons in a limited way within Russia's borders.

"If he had the ability to strike Moscow, strike the Kremlin, would that make sense? It wouldn't," he added.

Biden said he and U.S. military and intelligence officials were making decisions on "a day-to-day basis on how far they should go in. That's a logical thing to do."

According to Reuters, NATO members have taken different approaches to how Ukraine can use weapons they donate. Some have made clear Kyiv can use them to strike targets deep inside Russia while the United States has taken a narrower approach, allowing its weapons to be used only just inside Russia's border against targets supporting Russian military operations in Ukraine.

The Ukrainian president on Thursday urged NATO allies to lift restrictions on its use of long-range weapons against targets in Russia, saying that would be "game-changer" in its war with Moscow.

NATO’s 75-year anniversary summit was held in Washington from July 9-11.
