Ukraine has already used the authorization of the United States of America to strike the Russian Federation.

Points of attention

Ukraine has previously used American weapons to strike targets in Russia with permission from the United States, as confirmed by the White House.
The United States continues to support Ukraine in its efforts to fight and push back Russian forces, working to hold the line and thwart Russian advances.
Recent discussions with Western partners, including the United States, France and Germany, led to Ukraine receiving authorization to launch strikes on Russian territory.
The situation in Kharkiv remains tense, but Russian forces are struggling to make significant progress on the ground, indicating a slowing of their momentum.
According to reports, the Ukrainian Air Force carried out its first airstrike against a Russian command center in the Belgorod region, marking a significant development in the conflict.

Ukraine has previously used US weapons to target the Russian Federation

This was stated by Jake Sullivan, National Security Advisor to the US President.

Sullivan confirmed that the Ukrainian Defense Forces have already taken advantage of the partial authorization to strike Russia with American weapons.

I will just say that from the president's point of view, it was common sense… When they (the Russians. — editor's note) were moving directly from one side of the border to the other side of the border, that didn't make sense. did not happen. It makes no sense not to allow the Ukrainians to fire across this border, to hit the Russian guns and firing points that fired at the Ukrainians.

He also stressed that the United States would continue to support Ukraine in its efforts to hold the line and push back Russian forces.

And one thing I will note is that the momentum of this operation in Kharkiv has stalled. Currently, Kharkiv is still under threat, but the Russians have failed to make significant progress on the ground in recent days in the region.

Authorization of Western partners of Ukraine to strike the Russian Federation

In recent months, Ukraine has held active discussions with its partners on the possibility of launching strikes on the territory of the Russian Federation.

Not so long ago, Ukraine received such permission from US President Joe Biden. After a long debate, the United States authorized the attack on military installations on Russian territory.

Similar permits have also been granted by France and Germany.
