The US has said that Ukraine does not need permission to attack targets deep inside Russia using their own domestically made weapons.
During a briefing the US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said Ukraine can use “many” homemade weapons.
The Kyiv Independent reported, he added that Ukrainian forces have “an enormous amount of material to defend itself.”
President Volodymyr Zelensky has repeatedly asked for permission to use Western provided weaponry inside Russia, this has not been allowed as the West are too afraid of an escalation from Moscow.

Ukraine is hopeful that Western allies could change their mind because so far almost everything President Zelensky has asked for his forces he has received.
Miller was asked why Kyiv is not allowed to use the long-range missiles, he said, “When we approve any new weapon system or any new tactic, we look at how it’s going to affect the entire battlefield and Ukraine’s entire strategy. And that’s what we’ll continue to do.
And if you look at the weapons we’ve provided them, we’ve made it very clear that they can use them to retaliate against Russian targets across the border that are conducting attacks.
“We are always looking to see if there are additional tools we can provide them.”

In August Vladimir Putin and the Kremlin werw issued with a direct threat that Ukraine’s new missile can destroy the Russian capital city of “Moscow” following a “positive test.”
Ukrainian columnist for the Information Resistance group Oleksandr Kovalenko told RBC-Ukraine, “A Ukrainian missile will hit Moscow, hit something very important.
“After which Russia will be given an ultimatum: either you leave Ukraine, or we will destroy Moscow and St. Petersburg.”
He added: “The most important events of the war are ahead of us.”
