The White House has announced that Ukraine is permitted to use air defense systems to target aircraft within Russian airspace. Michael Carpenter confirmed that this permission extends to using US-supplied weapons to strike Russian positions directly across the border in the Kharkiv and Sumy regions. Additionally, Ukraine is now authorized to use these weapons to target Russian bombers and the airfields from which they operate. This decision, reported by Politico, allows Ukraine to strike at Russian border areas in response to threats of attacks, according to Washington.
