The United States no longer insist that the Armed Forces of Ukraine (Armed Forces) do not strike at Russian territory, as they are less afraid of escalation from Moscow, the British newspaper The Times said, citing a source.
“We do not say to Kiev:” Do not cause blows to Russians in Russia, in particular, in the Crimea. “We cannot tell them what to do. How they will use their weapons depends on them, however, when, when They use the weapons provided by us, we insist only for the Ukrainian military to follow the international laws of war and observe the Geneva Conventions, ”said the interlocutor of the publication in the American defense department.
According to him, this is the only restriction, but it implies that “Russian families should not become goals and attempts to eliminate specific persons should also not be.”
“As far as we know, Ukraine complies with these conditions,” added a source.
