The U.S. government has withheld official comment on reports suggesting it has permitted Ukraine to strike Russian territory using long-range missiles.
State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller stated the following when questioned about the integrity of the reports on Monday: “We have made clear that we will always adapt and adjust the capabilities that we provide to Ukraine when it’s appropriate to do so, and you have seen us back that up with steps that we have taken over the past several years.”
He stated that Russia remains the aggressor in the conflict, citing their recent deployment of 11,000 North Korean troops to the Kursk front, where they are conducting combat operations against Ukrainian forces.
In a video statement released on Sunday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed recent reports about military operations. He noted that while media coverage suggested certain actions had been approved, specific details had yet to be disclosed. He emphasized that the situation was more than mere rhetoric, asserting that the missiles’ actions would ultimately convey their message.
