Report: US Remains Unconvinced on Ukraine's Possible Use of Long-Range Weapons in Russia

Should NATO countries lift restrictions and allow its long-range weapons to strike Russia, Russia will have no choice but to see this as NATO's direct involvement in the war and proceed accordingly. This would be a fundamental escalation of the conflict and the West needs to tread carefully.

The US remains unconvinced that allowing Ukraine to use long-range weapons deep into Russian territory best serves its war aims. It will seek further clarity from Kyiv when leaders of the two nations meet next week.
