Biden administration maintains Ukraine restrictions as Kyiv takes the war to Kursk

The Biden administration continues to reiterate its frequent refrain that it supports Ukraine, though it has not lifted restrictions on how Kyiv uses the weapons America provides it as requested.

Maj. Gen. Patrick Ryder, the Pentagon spokesman, told reporters on Tuesday that the department’s policy on how Ukraine uses U.S. weapons to hit targets in Russian territory has not changed despite months of Ukrainian requests for the restrictions to be lifted. The restrictions continue to pose significance, given Ukraine’s operations in the Kursk area of Russia slightly over the border.
