The US considers "unconvincing" arguments of Ukraine about long -range blows deep into the Russian Federation - WP
Representatives of the Presidential Administration Joe Baiden and the US Defense Ministry believe that Ukraine did not provide sufficient arguments in favor of removing restrictions on the strikes of ATACMS rockets deep into the territory of the Russian Federation. This is stated in the article of The Washington Post.
The media writes that neither the White House nor the Pentagon has heard from Ukrainian leaders of "convincing arguments" that possible goals in the Russian Federation in the radius of the achievement of Western missiles "will significantly affect Ukraine's path to victory. " American officials believe that the best option is temporarily occupied Crimea, as the strikes of the Ukrainian forces forced the Kremlin to withdraw troops from the peninsula.
The media quotes the words of one American official who stated that the current requests of Kiev do not justify the "risk of escalation" by the aggressor country. According to him, the United States has limited rocket reserves, and the Russian Federation has already led 90% of aircraft that launch managed aviation bombs outside the area of ATACMS missiles.
He believes that the change in Washington's policy on the removal of permission to strikes in Russia "will not affect the course of hostilities. " At the same time, European military officials and diplomats are categorically disagreeing with Washington's position. They have condemned such a policy of the United States and believe that it is necessary to lift restrictions for Ukraine to use Western weapons for blows to the Russian Federation.
One of the military officials stated that such a state position is "meaningless", adding that even the military doctrine of NATO members involves the task of systemic deep blows in the rear of the enemy. He believes that in the case of permission from the United States, it will not allow Ukraine to immediately win the war against the Russian Federation.
However, in his opinion, it will seriously violate logistics for the Russians, and team centers and warehouses of the weapons of Russian invaders will become obvious goals. According to an unnamed European official, which will be longer than the desired removal of restrictions, "less effective will be this opportunity" that focus wrote that on September 11 Biden stated that the United States was working out .
