Russia-Ukraine war: US shifting stance on weapon usage by Kyiv? | World News | WION
with no signs of the war coming to a halt and Russia making constant gains in Ukraine United States House speaker Mike Johnson now appears to endorse allowing Ukraine to strike targets deep inside Russian territory with us supplied weapons responding to a question from Voice of America about the current American policy that restricts the usage of this weapons the house Speaker said that the US should allow Ukraine to prosecute the war in the way they see fit Mike Johnson said Ukraine needs to be able to fight back he thinks us trying to micromanage the efforts in Ukraine is not a good policy for them the statement comes as in recent weeks Ukraine has intensified its appeal to the Biden Administration to lift the ban according to a member of the Ukrainian Parliament Russia is taking advantage of the restrictions put by America on how Ukraine should use the weapons provided by them she says since they do not have the clearance to use Mar’s rocket launchers on the Russian territory Moscow flaunts its weapons along the border and use them to destroy the kar region although us officials have repeatedly said that they do not support or encourage kev’s striking with American weapons deep inside Russian territory now for more on this we have been joined by Ben Aris who is the founder and editor and chief of bne Intel news and also former Moscow bureau chief of the Daily Telegraph from Berlin Mr Aris thank you so much for joining us good to see you again since the start of this war the West especially the United States has been very clear that the arms they provide are to defend Ukraine and not attack school do you think it’s time West changes that stance I’m being they’re being pushed towards it because of the situation on the battlefield I mean for most of this war the last two years it’s been fought you know in Ukrainian territory far away from the Russian border uh you know along the Nea River in the middle of the country Kon um what’s happened now is that because of the lack of amunition because of the lack of air defense that Russia’s concentrated its attack on har and ke is only 30 40 K kilometers from the Russian border it’s Ukraine’s second biggest city it’s extremely important uh and it’s managed to hold out despite really heavy attacks on it throughout the war but the the focus is on there now and the problem is what Russia’s done is it’s bringing up it its troops and its rocket launchers and attacking the city from inside its own territory and Ukraine can’t do anything about it uh if if there’s fighting in the field like in in in the middle of the country then you know you’ve got a regular battle but the because Russia’s taking advantage of this ban of use of Western weapons that the ukrainians can’t hit the supply lines they can’t hit the troops that are masked they can’t hit the rocket launchers I mean on the belgrad’s highway which is runs down the Border you know you’ve got G missile launchers parked there lobbying bombs into Ukraine into hke and they can’t fight back and so I think given that the war’s going so badly for Ukraine that the American side is getting a bit desperate you know they they’re thinking about we have to lift this band so at least it’ll be a fair fight where both sides could shoot it each other but they remain very concerned about possibility of provoking Russia because an attack with a NATO weapon on Russian Sovereign territory could be taken by the Kremlin as an attack on NATO attack by NATO Mr Aris I want to connect Us’s domestic policy with how that could have an implication on the foreign policy we all know that Us’s presidential elections are slated for November this year now the statements that we are seeing by Mike Johnson he’s a close Ally of Donald Trump there’s a big possibility that Donald Trump might come back to Power this November I want to ask you how do you see and if it all you see Us’s foreign policy changing towards the war in Ukraine in case Donald Trump comes back to the White House well you’re right these two things are intimately linked I mean the problems that Ukraine has had in getting support from from the states is is all a function of the domestic policies and we should also bear in mind that that um that Johnson and also blinkin who commented on this who’s the the foreign uh Minister neither of them are qualified to talk about military strategy um and within the White House there seems to be a split because Jake Sullivan the National Security advisor you know the one who can talk about military strategy has come out adamantly as has the Pentagon to say look we don’t want the these attacks in Russia because of the dangers of escalation but then you’ve got these domestic players particularly Johnson and Mike mccallin the head of the foreign committee um they they’re saying that maybe we should all right we seem to have lost Mr Aris all right we will be tracking the story very closely and we’ll try to connect with Mr Aris later for all the latest news download the Von app And subscribe to our YouTube channel

USA earned money by selling weapons. Now business over.
Better Ukraine to surrender rather than striking back deep inside Russian territory because the consequences of this will be catastrophic to Ukraine.
Russia is gaining the upper hand to gain more Ukrainian territory, American give military aid to Ukraine will never work….
MIKE JOHNSON SHOULD BE FIRED NOW!
By this, did USA just 'permit' Russia to use Nuclear Missiles towards Ukraine if it lets Ukraine to attack deep into Russian territory?
The comments seem ludircous to suggest this war was caused by any country other than Russia!
One day there will be the country USA but not Ukraine for sure. These politician sucks.
Did this idiot ever think that ukraine if do what they want may all die or just u dont care
People's president Putin it is time to defend Ur country with everything that Russia has .
The US will force Russia to use nukes!
The Russians hear Speaker Mike Johnson saying "The Ukrainian dictator, Israeli Mossad-agent Zelensky may use U.S.-provided nuclear weapons upon Russia"; extrapolated; a veiled threat carried to its conclusion. Speaker Johnson believes so arming Zelensky is a fair turn, because the Russians effectively provided Iran with nuclear weapons to use upon Israel, by building Iran's nuclear reactor and by training Iran's nuclear technicians.__
_Thus, the world has come to the brink of nuclear war with a man in the White House, who says "Bruce Jenner in a dress, is a woman"; a man who was installed by 24-million-ballot, ballot-fraud; a man who filed false, frivolous, criminal charges against the Republican opposition candidate; and a man who is reading his instructions from Israeli Chuck Schumer on a teleprompter._
_Speaker Mike Johnson's threat upon Russia was carefully considered with advice from many Democrats and RINO's. Speaker Mike Johnson is playing nuclear chicken with the Russians._
_Fortunately, the Russians will not strike until they are ready with new weapons, which will prevent any response. Unfortunately, China technology and Arab financing are speeding-up the Russians to that ability._
__Speaker Mike Johnson is on track to fulfill the prophecy of Revelation Chapter-18 upon an immoral, modern-day, Babylon. Meanwhile, Speaker Mike Johnson is silent about Democrats giving children damaging, irreversible, Frankenstein, transgender drugs; and worse, the so-called, 'transgender surgeries' upon children.
US never expected Russia to launch "Space Weapon" that destroys other satellites. But Russia did. Now, Russia warns against Ukraine's use of US & UK weapons. Any doubts?
I wonder Why Johnson did not say this earlier .
Main aim of US seems to be to damage and bleed Russia rather than saving US .
They held Zelensky in their grip and making him dance as per US wishes .
Jen tak dal debylove 👽👽👽
Mike johnson sucks
Dictator Zelensky needs to surrender and stop forcing his people of the streets to die at the front. He already sold his country to the US and sacrificed more than 600,000 soldiers, 2 million crippled, 18 million fled the country, 12 million Russian speakers who want nothing to do with the killers of Ukraine. That economy is dead. This whole show cost the West 500 billion dollars a year.
Ro: freedomlover20740, whose real name should be " I am a liar" I say this…..I have EVERY clue about what has been happening for the last 20 years AND more, the Russian narrative is a pure LIE, I even knew a family in Odessa who BEFORE the Russians invaed,,NOTE: The Russians invaded Ukraine NOT the other way round, who KNEW the Russians were coming and they HATED them. The story of Luhansk and Donbess from the Russian view point is ALSO not true, isn't it coincidental that from this area, via Russian forces the missile that shot down the Malaysian airlines commercial airliner that killed all on baord, was shot from there and after that the Russian authorities refused for any international investagive team to enter the crash site to examing what really happened! NO! I know what has been happening and Russia has been a ruthless aggressor with no morals.
The Pentagon and U.S. defense industry loves this war and don't want it to stop.The U.S. shouldn't be half way around the world provoking wars. Using U.S.& Nato weapons to strike Russia is a direct provocation for a wider conflict and possibly nuclear war. Everyone in Washington is cheering it on. Russia has asked for 30 years not to have Nato bases on their borders. The U.S. said screw off.
meik jonson is the cause of Ukrainia's current problems as he witheld the aid package – what idiodic thinking – vote this pathetic POS out of office
Ukr can fight their war against Russia as they see fit, but not at the expense of the US taxpayers dime. as long as we are supplying 100 percent of the weapons they use the weapons as we say.
Why us sending more money en weapons US is no-good
WHy not mine your on business there are more illegal immigrants on your border
TRU politicians are making money to fill their pockets some joke only 😊
As an American I'm absolutely disgusted with the behavior of our "leaders " what a joke 🙄. If this turns nuclear 💯 of the blame will be on America 🇺🇸 and its pathetic leadership.
That means Russia will level the whole ukraine
Mike Johnson joints Zelinsky go to the front line to defeat Russia
