Details: Biden was asked if the US would lift restrictions on Ukraine's use of long-range weapons in the war against Russia, and said his administration was "working that out now". 

Background: 

• In recent weeks, Ukraine has been actively calling on its allies to lift all restrictions on strikes by their long-range weapons against Russia, explaining that this would allow them to target aircraft that launch cruise missiles and guided bombs.
• In response, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said that any means, including long-range missiles, are not crucial to a full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine.
