White House: We are still against attacking deep into Russian territory
American officials say that this country does not want to increase tensions with Russia and does not allow the use of American weapons to attack deep into Russian territory. |
According to the international group Tasnim news agency, the press secretary of the White House, Karin Jean-Pierre, reacted. On the request of the Secretary General of NATO to the United States regarding allowing the West to attack Russian territory, he said: “Washington does not want to increase the tension in any way.” Jean-Pierre said: “We have more than “We are very grateful to the 50 countries that were able to unite and support Ukraine in the struggle for its territory. I have nothing more [to say] and I say frankly that we do not want the situation [in Ukraine] to worsen in any way.”
The US State Department also announced that despite the NATO Secretary General’s request to lift the restrictions on the use of western weapons in Ukraine, Washington has not changed its position in rejecting Ukraine’s use of American weapons to attack deep inside Russia.
US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said in a press conference: “As a matter of policy, we do not allow or encourage the use of American weapons outside the borders of Ukraine.”
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg announced on Tuesday that NATO has no plans to send military personnel to Ukraine or participate in military operations, but he called for lifting restrictions on the Ukrainian military’s use of Western weapons to attack Russian territory. .
