Strikes on Russia – The White House was recommended not to lift restrictions on the Armed Forces of Ukraine

As an anonymous American official told the publication, the Pentagon and intelligence recommendations said that lifting the restrictions would not have a strategic effect and would not change the course of the war. He also emphasizes that such a solution will have more disadvantages than advantages.

In particular, the Pentagon and intelligence remind that Russia has moved more than 90% of its aircraft beyond the ATACMS range, so it is “wrong to say” that this will solve a problem attacks on Ukraine with guided bombs.

Another reason is that Ukraine does not have enough ATACMS missiles. At the same time, such weapons cannot be supplied from the US reserves, because procurement will lead to damage to the combat readiness of the US armed forces.

The interlocutor of the publication himself said that it would be irresponsible if Washington did not take into account the possible response of Russia, because it is “a nuclear power capable of doing very bad things for both in Ukraine and the United States. “

But fear of escalation is not the only factor holding back US President Joe Biden, according to a source from Fox News. Intelligence predicts that if restrictions are lifted, Russia will move its assets beyond the range of long-range missiles.

Hitting Russia

Let’s remember that Ukraine receives long-range missiles from its Western allies, but it is still limited in their use. In particular, the Armed Forces of Ukraine cannot reach enemy military targets located deep within the territory of the Russian Federation.

Recently, the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky spoke about his plan for victory, which, in particular, provides permission to use Western weapons at the discretion of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Just yesterday, October 23, White House National Security Council Strategic Communications Coordinator John Kirby confirmed that The US position on long-range strikes in Ukraine has not changed.
