Trump lifted restrictions for Ukraine on missile strikes against Russia: details of the decision

According to hvylya.net: The administration of Donald Trump has decided to lift the restrictions on Ukraine's use of long-range missiles to strike targets in Russia. This will allow Ukraine to enhance its strike capabilities against Russian targets, reports The Wall Street Journal.

After Trump's team came to power, the Pentagon established a procedure for approving Ukrainian strikes using Western missiles that included providing American intelligence on targets. The final word on the use of Western weapons against Russia was also left to the Secretary of Defense.

• Previously, Ukraine was not able to use these missiles.
• The decision to lift the restrictions was made before Trump's meeting with Zelensky at the White House.

The first strike was carried out by Ukraine using a British missile against a factory in Bryansk, where explosives and rocket fuel were produced. Storm Shadow missiles can hit targets at a distance of over 290 kilometers.

The Trump administration's decision to lift restrictions on Ukraine's use of long-range missiles for strikes against Russia opens new possibilities for Ukraine's military strategy and escalates tensions in relations between Ukraine and Russia. This decision also indicates the rapprochement of American and Ukrainian positions in the competition with Russia.
