But for the time being, the unreasonable ban on using weapons provided by Western partners, foremostly by the United States, for strikes on the territory of the russian federation is still in force.

Really? I thought that was an urban legend. Sounds silly Ukraine wouldn't be allowed to attack military installations used for attacks into Ukraine. If true I hope they change that ASAP.

Yeah, this is part of there reason Ukraine has been developing their own long-range systems. That ban is only in force for donated weapons, not for ones they make themselves.

Maybe it's a sort of attempt to avoid escalation, but I'm far from sure that's a good idea. Russia only takes and gives nothing. Why should we grant them any favors?
"We" as in the West/Allies/NATO/Europe, and of course USA.

@Buffalox @BombOmOm If Russia collapsed, I would not piss on its grave.
Though I hope it does. Sooner than later.

If when Putin dies, it was allowed to visit to piss on his grave as a tourist attraction, I'd consider it. 😆

@Buffalox That's a nice consideration.
