Politico reported that the US has allowed Ukraine to use American weapons to strike any Russian forces attacking across the border, not just those in the Kharkiv area.
However, the Institute for the Study of War believes that US policy still prohibits Ukrainian forces from using US-provided weapons to strike military targets deep within Russian territory.
