President Joe Biden defended his decision to allow Ukraine to launch U.S.-provided weapons against military targets within Russia, characterizing it as limited in scope amid worries it could spark a wider war.
Biden, in an interview aired on ABC’s Good Morning America, was asked if Ukraine was already using American weapons inside Russia, but he avoided giving specifics.
“They are authorized to be used in proximity to the border,” Biden said. “We are not authorizing strikes 200 miles into Russia. We’re not authorizing strikes on Moscow, on the Kremlin.”
“It’s just across the border where they’re receiving significant fire from conventional weapons used by the Russians to go into Ukraine to kill Ukrainians,” he added.
