On Wednesday, October 22, the WSJ reported that the administration of US President Donald Trump had lifted a key ban on Ukraine's use of Western long-range missiles to strike Russia.
US President Donald Trump denied reports of an alleged lifting of restrictions on Ukraine's use of long-range missiles provided by Western allies.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine uses only its own weapons, not American ones, to strike Russian territory. He noted that Ukrainian long-range capabilities range from 150 to 3,000 km.
