MP on permission to strike deep into Russia: I do not rule out a change of position in the Biden administration

The US elections have been held, so it is possible that the Biden administration will change its position on allowing Ukraine to strike deep into Russia's military facilities. This opinion was expressed by MP and Deputy Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on National Security and Defense of Ukraine Yehor Chernev during a telethon, UNN reports.

When asked if there was any progress in resolving the issue of authorizing strikes deep into Russia, Chernev replied: "The elections have passed, I do not rule out that there will be a change of position in the Biden administration, especially since he has nothing to lose, he has two months left before the transfer of power.

However, he noted that at the same time, it should be understood that the transfer of power does not take place on the last day of Biden's term, but gradually and representatives of the Trump administration are already coming in, so there will also be certain restrictions on decision-making. But for now, the Biden administration definitely has freedom of action.

"I think the next few weeks should be crucial and indicative of how the Biden administration will act," Chernev said.

Addendum

Earlier, Chernev statedthat it is likely that the decision to allow Ukraine to strike deep into Russia's military facilities with Western weapons will be made after the US elections.

At the end of September this year, Zelenskyy statedthat Ukraine was in dialogue with the US leadership to obtain permission to strike deep into Russia's military targets with Western weapons.

US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said in late September that Ukraine does not need US permission to launch retaliatory strikes against targets deep inside Russia, as it can use weapons it produces on its own.
