The reason the US wants to allow Ukraine to attack deep into Russian territory.

This assessment comes from Dr. Gilbert Doctorow of Columbia University, an expert on Russia and international relations, as stated on his YouTube channel, Judging Freedom.

“ The initial stance of the United States and the reasons for its change are related to the successes of the Russian military on the front lines in Donbass ,” Doctorow said.

He noted that this month, the Russian military had carried out strong attacks on bases where specialists of the Ukrainian armed forces were being trained. According to him, the attack on Poltava, which killed dozens of Ukrainian servicemen, was Russia's response to Washington's "provocative" actions.

“ We are escalating tensions. But this has little to do with what President Zelensky wants to achieve for the good of the country, ” Dr. Doctorow added.

Earlier, President Biden stated that the issue of allowing the Kiev government to use long-range weapons to strike deep into Russian territory was still being resolved.

According to Reuters, the US plans to transfer JASSM long-range air-to-ground cruise missiles to Ukraine. They could arrive in Ukraine within the next few months.

In response to the US move, President Putin stated that no one was discussing lifting the ban on Ukraine launching attacks deep into Russian territory.

“ Ukraine attacked Russia with the help of UAVs and other means. But when it comes to the use of high-precision long-range weapons manufactured in the West, that’s a completely different story ,” President Putin said.

He emphasized that direct Western involvement in the conflict in Ukraine would significantly alter the nature of the country and would mean that NATO members – the US and European countries – were at war with Russia.

" Moscow will decide how to respond based on the immediate threats that emerge ," the President declared.
