Since President Joe Biden given permission to Ukraine to strike inside Russian territory with American munitions, Kyiv can only hit targets over the border close to Kharkiv to stop Russia advances around  city northeastern part of the country close to the Russian border, he has directed his team to ensure Ukraine is able to use US supplied-weapons for counterfire purposes in Kharkiv, so Ukraine can defence their back against Russian forces who came hitting them anytime  hitting them,” officials said.

This loosening restrictions marks a break from long-standing policy comes amid growing international pressure from close US allies. But it is limited to area around Kharkiv, Ukraine has not requested permission beyond that, official said, adding that they do not anticipate the US widening the area allowed.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken confirmed on decision had been made following a request from Ukraine. “Over few weeks ago, Ukraine came to us, asked for authorization weapons used provided to defend against this aggression” near Kharkiv, “including against Russian forces as they massing on Russian side of border,” Blinken said at a news conference in Prague. 

The top US diplomat said the request went to Biden, and he approved their use for that purpose. Blinken said US would continue to “adapt and adjust and where" they are moving forward.
