Bipartisan Group in Congress Urged Biden to Lift Restrictions on Ukraine's Use of Long-Range Weapons.

A group of congressmen from the Congressional Ukrainian Caucus appealed to President Joe Biden to lift restrictions on Ukraine's use of long-range weapons for strikes on military targets in Russia. This was reported by the Voice of America's correspondent in the Pentagon, Ostap Yarysh.

In a letter to Biden, lawmakers emphasize that such restrictions contradict the US's approaches to its own operations and the operations of other partners who use American weapons to defend their sovereignty, such as Israel.

"We are asking you to immediately lift the restrictions on Ukraine's use of long-range weapons provided by the US and other NATO allies to strike legitimate military targets in Russia," the appeal states.

The congressmen emphasize that without lifting these restrictions, Ukraine will continue to suffer from unjustified losses, fatalities, and destruction, as Russia exploits this policy and intensifies its bombardments.

The letter was signed by House Representatives Marcy Kaptur, Brian Fitzpatrick, Mike Quigley, Joe Wilson, as well as Senators Richard Durbin and Roger Wicker.
