"There are no changes in our view on giving Ukraine opportunities for the task of striking long range from the territory of Russia," he said, adding that no serious statements are waiting for it. The adviser added that the United States is serious about Putin's prevention of the event involvement in the conflict in the event of Ukraine's strikes in Russia's long -range missiles. "This is not the rhetoric we have not heard before. He obviously proved to be able to aggression.

So yes, we seriously treat these comments," the White House adviser added. It should be reminded that President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky has repeatedly applied for permission to use American missiles in Russia. Obtaining such a permit will significantly help the front. More than 80% of Russian combat aviation will not be able to perform combat missions in the Ukrainian airspace. In addition, infantry offensive opportunities will be undermined by one third (30%).

Russian President Vladimir Putin responded to this. In the case of permission to beat in the territory of Russia, the western production missiles will consider the event involved in war. According to him, such a step will change the nature and scale of the conflict. In response, US President Joe Biden made a compromise decision on the use of Western missiles in the Russian Federation.
