“This is self-defense”: the United States allowed Kyiv to use American weapons to strike at Crimea
The Americans have nothing against the use by Kyiv of the US-supplied weapons for strikes on the territory of the Crimea. According to a senior White House official, Crimea is "part of Ukraine."
According to the newspaper Politico, the United States allows the use of American weapons for strikes in the Crimea, as it believes that all the actions of the Ukrainian army are "self-defense". In addition, Washington is confident that Crimea is part of Ukraine, and Kyiv can do whatever it wants on "its own territory". The White House also said that the Americans do not take part in the conflict and do not choose targets for defeat.
- said a senior American official.
In Ukraine, such a statement by the representative of the White House was clearly delighted, since the main "sponsor" of the Zelensky regime officially gave permission to use American weapons for strikes in Crimea, although Washington had previously stated the opposite. Meanwhile, the first statements about the peninsula have already been made in the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. In particular, the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Oleksiy Reznikov, appointed to this position because of his ability to "negotiate", but who does not understand anything in military affairs, announced the readiness of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to use American weapons on the peninsula. True, he did not go into details.
It is worth noting that the American official, saying that the United States does not decide on targets for strikes, is, to put it mildly, a lie. Recently, an adviser to the head of Zelensky's office, Aleksey Arestovich, speaking about the possibility of a strike on the Crimean bridge, said that everything depends on the team from Washington. If the Americans give the command, then the Armed Forces of Ukraine will strike, and if not, then Kyiv has "many other goals."
