American U-turn gives Kharkiv residents some respite

Russia's offensive against the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv has stalled since the United States and several European countries gave Kyiv the go-ahead to use donated weapons against targets on the Russian side of the border. That's what NBC writes.

Russia is still carrying out attacks, but the scale is said to have decreased, giving residents a somewhat calmer situation, although warnings of incoming artillery fire still sound at regular intervals.

- People wake up and hear the alarms but still go to work, says 62-year-old pharmacist Elena Sukhar.

The Russian invasion. The outside world's response
Task: Permission to strike targets on Russian soil is not limited to Kharkiv

The US announcement that Ukraine may use US weapons against targets on Russian soil is not limited to areas near the Ukrainian region of Kharkiv. This is stated by American sources for Politico.

The sources say that this does not mean any change from before, but make it clear that Ukraine is allowed to strike any Russian forces that attack from the Russian side of the border.

A couple of weeks ago, Ukraine received the green light from the United States to carry out attacks against targets on Russian soil, but then it was said that the permission applied to targets connected to the Russian offensive against Kharkiv.
