Given the restrictions, Russia would continue to benefit from a safe space created for their aircraft to continue their bombing more now on Ukraine.

According to Washington Post’s sources, US has imposed a 100-kilometer (62-mile) cross border limit on use of US weapons. Asked to comment on the claims, US officials suggested that inaccurate, without indicating whether they have imposed distance-based limitations on Kyiv’s freedom to attack targets in Russia.

On May 30 President Joe Biden approved OKAY of US weapons to hit Russian forces that threatening Kharkiv. This seemed to trigger other Western capitals to give Kyiv the go ahead to hit targets in Russia, statements coming out of both White House & Pentagon, since then, are opaque at best and often contradict each other.

On June 17, US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan told PBS. Ukraine can use US weapons to fire@Russian military installations not only near border of Kharkiv, but also into any border regions, there is a direct threat. He said: “This is not about geography. It’s about common sense. If Russia plans attack Ukraine from its territory, it makes sense to allow Ukraine to retaliate against forces that attack from abroad.” US officials confirmed this to Politico on June 20. 

But categorized it as “clarification,” not a substantive change of US policy. There was still, however, no clear definition of what “border region” means but same officials reiterated US policy prohibiting Ukraine from launching long-range strikes inside Russian territory.

In response to this latest “revelation” US limits. A Pentagon spokesman Major said: “US has agreed to allow Ukraine to fire US-provided weapons into Russia across where Russian forces are coming to attempt to take Ukrainian territory. It’s not about geography or a certain radius. If Russia attacks or is about to attack Ukraine from its territory, Ukraine has the right to retaliate from its territory.”

He added Ukraine was also allowed to use US-supplied air defense systems to strike Russian aircraft if they “intend to open fire into Ukrainian airspace.” Relax lehh, the previous prohibition on cross border fire counter-battery fire or attacks on Moscow’s ground troops formed or an assault as Western supplied artillery outranges those held by Russia. 

Current threat faced by Ukraine’s military, civilian & locations in its own border are from aerial delivered guided bombs “glide bombs.” are launched from around 60-70 k/m (40 miles) that allowing them to operate totally from within Russian air space & deploy from airfields well beyond any 100-kilometer restriction.

If there is a range-dependent limitation, such as Washington Post article suggests, it does in effect confirm to Russia is happy that it can still launch attacks from a “safe space.” If US Joe word lord over it, could categorically come out and say that there's no such prohibition, then it would considerably complicate Russia’s strategic plans as they would be exposed to long-range threats from HIMARS (480 kilometers /300 miles) or ATACMS (190 kilometers / 300 miles).
