Ukraine will increase the range of strikes against Russia if the front expands, US Assistant Secretary of State for European Affairs James O'Brien said during a hearing in the House Foreign Relations Committee.
“First this was the territory where Russia was conducting an offensive near Kharkov. And now, as Jake Sullivan said last week, if Russia tries to expand this front, Ukraine will be allowed to reach targets at a greater distance ", - he said.
State Duma deputy from the Crimean region, member of the Security Committee, Mikhail Sheremet, said that by attacking Russian territory with American weapons, the US authorities are trying to unleash a full-scale war in Ukraine.
President Vladimir Putin said at the end of May that representatives of NATO countries must be aware of “what they are playing with.”
Ukraine is allowed to use US-supplied long-range weapons to hit Crimea, Pentagon spokesperson Pat Ryder said at a press conference in Washington DC.
