The Pentagon prevented Ukraine from using American Lackers Attms to attack targets from the end of spring, as part of a Trump administration to determine Vladimir Putin to engage in peace negotiations, according to a report published on Saturday, August 23, writes The Guardian.
Two American officials told the publication that, in at least one occasion, Ukraine tried to use Ataches against a target, but was refused in a “review mechanism“Developed by Elbridge Colby, the sub -secretary of the Pentagon for policies, which regulates how the US -range weapons can be used or those provided by European allies based on American information and components.
The review process also applies to the Storm Shadow Cruise missile, as it depends on the US target data, according to two American officials and a British official, Journal said.
The review system offers the US Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, approval for the use of Atacms rockets, which have an action range of almost 305 km.
Ukraine previously received the authority of the Biden administration to use the missile system against targets inside Russia, after North Korean troops entered the war.
Before taking over the mandate, Trump told Time magazine that the decision to allow Ukraine to use American weapons to attack targets inside Russia was a mistake.
“I do not agree with sending rockets to hundreds of kilometers to Russia. Why do we do this? We can only climb this war and worsen it. We should not have been allowed this“He said.
It is not clear whether the process of review started by the American Defense Department is equivalent to a formal policy change. But this comes with increasing control over ammunition to Ukraine, because American stocks are themselves exhausted.
In a statement to the Journal newspaper, the White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, said Trump “He said very clearly that the Ukraine's war should end. There was no change in the military posture between Russia and Ukraine at this time. ”
However, on Thursday, August 21, Trump tacitly acknowledged Russia's invasion in Ukraine and noted that Kiev was defensive, also suggesting the possibility of a situation exchange.
In a post posted on Thursday on Social Truth, he first wrote that it is “Very difficult, if not impossible, to win a war without attacking the invading country”So recognizing, tacitly, the role of Russia in the invasion of Ukraine. “It's like a great team in sports, which has a fantastic defense, but it is not allowed to play offensive. There is no chance of winning!”he added.
