- dragonwriter 4y ago> Yes the US has publicly stated they are avoiding delivering weapons which could be used to strike inside Russia. Which is strictly untrue; weapons the US has supplied already can strike inside Russia (and get the ability to strike further inside Russia as Ukraine has retaken territory.) It is likely that if, any real criteria regarding where it can strike is being used, its something like “systems that would be an advantage over other alternatives available to Ukraine only (or primarily) in strikes into Russia”. It’s also possible that that’s a PR position covering a different set of calculations with regard to weighing the desire to provide Ukraine superiority while limiting the acceleration of the escalatory spiral and preserving visible options for retaliatory escalation short of general war to deter new Russian provocations.
