Quote: "We have had a message from the American side. Early this morning (31 May), I received this message from my military."
Details: Zelenskyy said he could not disclose details but wanted to "see what will happen in practice" after receiving the authorisation.
"But what I see, in any case, is a step forward towards this goal that we discussed earlier, to enable us to protect our people who live in settlements near the border," the president said.
Background:
- Zelenskyy’s spokesman Serhii Nykyforov has confirmed that the US has authorised the limited use of its weapons to strike Russian territory.
- NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has asked the allies to review the constraints on Ukraine using Western weaponry against the Russian Federation amid border fighting in Kharkiv Oblast.
- Some European states have already openly stated that they support this position.
