Republicans urged Biden to lift restrictions on Ukrainian Armed Forces strikes on Russia.

Republicans demand that Biden lift restrictions on the use of American weapons against Russia

Ukraine must be given the ability to use American ATACMS missiles to strike territory in Russia. This was reported by "Hvilya".

A group of Republicans from the US House of Representatives wrote a letter to President Joe Biden asking to lift restrictions on the use of American long-range weapons, which makes it impossible for Ukraine to conduct strikes deep into Russia. The letter was signed by the heads of several committees of the US House of Representatives.

"The senseless restrictions imposed by the Biden-Harris administration, combined with long delays in approving and delivering critically important weapons, hinder Ukraine's ability to bring this war to a victorious conclusion... It is long past time for the administration to change course and lift the remaining restrictions on Ukraine's use of American weapons against legitimate military targets on Russian territory," the members of Congress said.

Republicans also mentioned the need to grant Ukraine permission to use American weapons for strikes on the near border. They emphasized that this decision was made belatedly and could have helped avoid the advance of Russian forces on Kharkiv region. Republicans also noted that there are more than 200 potential targets within the range of ATACMS missiles.

It was previously reported that US President Joe Biden is considering allowing Ukraine to strike Russia.
