Ukraine is likely to be granted authorization to strike the enemy with US weapons in the future, depending on the situation on the battlefield.
This was stated by the White House National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications, John Kirby, Voice of America reports.
At the same time, he did not disclose details about what kind of expansion for the Armed Forces is being discussed and noted that he did not want to jump ahead "on decisions that have not yet been made."
"As you well know, every step of this war, as the war has changed, as the conditions on the battlefield have changed, we have developed and changed our support for Ukraine. And I would not expect the current general approach to change in the coming weeks or months. We'll see how the situation evolves and what the Ukrainians need," Kirby said.
He also supported Zelensky in wanting to get as much money as possible from partners to be able to defend themselves as Ukraine continues to suffer from attacks by the Russian occupiers.
"We will continue to have these conversations with Ukrainians. Of course we will. And whether this will lead to additional policy changes, I cannot say at this time. But we will not turn away from the needs of Ukraine. And we will continue to try to develop our support, depending on the situation on the battlefield," summarized the White House National Security Council Coordinator.
