Foreign media: Senior US officials hint at allowing Ukraine to use US weapons against Russia

On May 30, according to Politico (Politico), two senior US officials said that Ukraine may be allowed to use US weapons to strike Russia. The move comes at a time when European allies, lawmakers and Ukrainian officials are pressuring the White House to lift restrictions and Russia is making significant progress on the battlefield. It also shows that Biden and his team are increasingly concerned about Ukraine's ability to resist Russia. US Secretary of State Blinken said that the Biden administration's attitude towards Ukraine is "characterized" by "changes as the situation changes, as the battlefield changes, as Russia's behavior changes." National Security Council spokesperson Kirby later stated that the current policy that Ukraine cannot use US-provided weapons to strike Russia has "not changed," while also noting that the US "support for Ukraine has changed appropriately."
