Russia has been bombarding Ukraine with air assaults and missiles originating from the Russian mainland that have destroyed critical infrastructure as well as military targets.
There are new concerns that Russia n troops may be preparing for an aggressive push deeper into Ukraine , which is putting pressure on international allies to step up military assistance. America’s top diplomat was recently in the war-ravaged country promising new financial support, along with plans to secure long sought after air defence capabilities. Reggie Cecchini reports.
But as Moscow increases its aerial assaults and presses ahead not just in the east but also against the northern city of Kharkiv, the chorus of voices calling for the Biden administration to allow Ukraine to hit back with U.S. weapons is getting louder.“What the Americans have done … is given the Russians a sanctuary,” Bill Taylor, a former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, told Global News last week. “The Ukrainians ought to be able to shoot back in self-defence.”to U.S.
“I think if the attacks are coming directly from over the line in Russia, that those bases ought to be fair game, whether they are where missiles are being launched from or where they are … being supplied from,” she said.The ATACMS sent to Ukraine by the U.S. this spring have a range of up to 300 kilometres, a distance that allows Kyiv to strike deep into Russian territory without needing to advance further.
Asked about comments made by Nuland and others, Brown and Austin said Ukraine should be focused on the “close fight” within its borders.
