Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov told CNN the Biden administration is still considering his request to lift restrictions on Ukraine using long-range weapons to strike deeper inside Russian territory and confirmed he’d presented a list of targets in meetings with senior officials in Washington on Friday
“We have explained what kind of capabilities we need to protect the citizens against the Russian terror that Russians are causing us, so I hope we were heard,” Umerov said in an interview with CNN’s Alex Marquardt on “The Situation Room.”
Despite repeated requests from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, the US is not currently expected to loosen restrictions on Ukraine’s use of long-range Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS).
“You’ve heard us say that the Ukrainians can use US security assistance to defend themselves from cross-border attacks, in other words counterfire. But as it relates to long-range strike, deep strikes into Russia, our policy has not changed,” said Pentagon press secretary Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder on Tuesday.

The Kyiv City Council denied their permit and the Ukrainian Orthodox Church condemned the march of seven hundred out of a city population of almost 3 million.
The Pride march was condemned by one of the main branches of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church
"This action is part of a left-wing radical political movement and is aimed at imposing a political ideology, and also aimed at destroying the institution of the family and weakening Ukrainian society in the conditions of war and repelling Russian aggression," the church said in a statement.
They’re too funny! Anyway, if they want us to believe that Ukraine has the kind of surveillance assets needed to strike high-value targets and have any success (rather than the usual attacks on city centers and nukes, which I admit, they might be capable of doing on their own), well, they can try to sell that bridge to the FR bunch, but I doubt anyone would believe it!
This same weak Biden admin was even against Ukraine attacking Russian oil refineries.
Marxist Democrats are many things but they are not weak. Policy wise they just don’t want Ukraine to win because that would complicate the rest of their Anti American agenda. On Iran, energy, etc. They’d much rather a stalemate, Ukraine bullied into Minsk 3.0 and back to business as almost usual with Putin’s regime.
In the end Democrats care about Ukrainians right to sovereign borders, their own language and culture separate from the filthy Russian World exactly as much as they care about our rights. That would be not at all.
“When should we expect the flagship Moskva back up from the bottom of the Black Sea? Russia is weak, corrupt and broken. Saved from total defeat only by the continued financial support of Russia’s Marxist WEF globohomo partners and their fellow travelling allies on the right.”
That’s some first class Kamala snark right there lol
But, like her devoid of substance.
The “substance of the matter” is Ukraine is still Ukraine. That invading Russian Nazis have managed to genocidally erase bits of it matters not in the end.
Indeed. The corruption in the Russian government and arms industry is staggering and at the top of the heap with a finger in every pie and getting his cut is Putin.
The Russians figured there would never be a nuclear exchange with the West, they figured no one would be that dumb so that left them free to rip off the system and boy did they.
“the Ukrainian Orthodox Church condemned the march”
And the Ukraine government is now attacking the church for opposing globohomo

No. The Ukrainian Orthodox Church that condemned the march is not banned.
Ukraine government banned only one branch of the Orthodox Church, the Moscow Patriarch led branch that has declared a "Holy War" against Ukraine.
Ukraine Is Now 'Holy War,' Russian Church Declares
The Russian Orthodox Church has approved a document that deems President Vladimir Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine a "Holy War."
The declaration came during a congress of the World Russian People's Council in which religious, political and cultural figures in the country met at the site of Moscow's Cathedral of Christ the Savior, a focal point for the Orthodox faith in Russia.
The head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill, also heads the council and is an ally of Putin. He has been criticized for providing a religious justification for the war and failing to unequivocally condemn the killing of people in Ukraine.

The Ukrainian defense minister should write his plea on the bags of cash he sends to Joe and Hunter Biden.
The Russians have moved all their airfields back 900+ km from the border — out of range of the missiles we have reportedly given the Ukrainians. Therefore, the real target list does not include air fields, unless they are also asking for some super scary stuff.
“unless they are also asking for some super scary stuff.”
They really want JASSMs and Tomahawks.
They wont get them.
It looks like the Pentagon has finally put their foot down.
Yes, they do want JASSMs. I do hope sober sense from the Pentagon prevails. We are living in interesting times indeed.
We’ve been down this road ten times already. They ALWAYS get what they’re asking for. Remember BIDEN’S red line, “F-16s will cause WWIII”?
It won’t matter. The previous ten times Abrams, ATACMS, F-16s being lost on day one, etc. didn’t matter.
Z in his bunker dreaming and ranting about “wonder weapons”.
Proof this Kursk bullshit has been to draw the US into war with Russia. WARMONGERING!
Ukraine banned teh KGB Orthodox Church, not the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. Your argument is like calling the US anti-Christians for opposing German Positive Christianity heretical churches in WW2
