Today’s most important quote is from Blinken in Kyiv:
Journalist: “The Biden administration has made clear it doesn’t want Ukraine using US equipment to strike onto Russian territory […] Does that ban make sense [?]”
Blinken “We have not encouraged or enabled strikes outside of Ukraine, but ultimately Ukraine has to make decisions for itself about how it’s going to conduct this war.”
Finally, the US seems to have realized you have to break eggs to make an omelet. May this be a turning point.
@randahl I noticed that too, although it has generally gone over the media's head. No matter, what matters is what Ukraine can do. US + UK finally agree to the obvious.
@DrGeraintLLannfrancheta I understand the skepticism, but we have not seen Blinken say it is up to Ukraine before. But let us see, if the administration finds a need to clarify in the coming hours.
@MeKobi if Ukraine follows this lead, the Russian economy will tank. No foreign investor will finance anything which Ukraine could want to bomb within a 1500 km radius of the Ukraine border.
