Politico: Blinken and Sullivan convinced Biden to lift the ban on Ukrainian strikes on Russia
National Security Advisor to the President of the United States Jake Sullivan and the country’s Secretary of State Antony Blinken convinced Joe Biden of the need to lift the ban on Kyiv’s strikes deep into Russia using Western weapons. The newspaper writes about this Politico with reference to sources.
“In the Oval Office, Sullivan argued that Ukraine should be able to use American weapons to repel Russian attacks on Kharkov specifically for counter-fire purposes,” the journalists wrote.
As noted, Biden’s meeting with the national security adviser took place on May 15. After a series of events, Biden instructed Sullivan and the Pentagon to begin working on changes in the issue of possible attacks on Russian territory.
It was previously reported that Joe Biden, with his decision to strike Russia with weapons supplied to Kiev, further dragged the country into the conflict in Ukraine.
It was also reported that the head of the United States, under pressure from key allies, allowed Ukraine to strike the Russian Federation. American officials clarified that Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin has already given his permission to do this.
