Details
We have stated quite clearly that this permit for the use (of American weapons – Ed.) allows the Ukrainians to return fire on Russian positions directly across the border in the Kharkiv region, as well as in the Sumy region
He stressed that this way Russia will be deprived of the opportunity to shelter its troops on its own side of the border, from where it attacks Ukrainian territory.
