Speaking in Kyiv during a press conference, Blinken was asked about recent Ukrainian complaints that a Washington ban meant Ukraine was unable to attack Russian forces as they were building up before crossing the border into Kharkiv Oblast.

"We've not enabled or encouraged strikes outside of Ukraine, but ultimately, Ukraine has to make decisions for itself about how it's going to conduct this war," he said.

Do they think this might cause Russia to use new tactics with this as justification? If there ever was a hard line "no" on the issue its definitely dissipated. Now we are kind of just saying "Its your choice, but I wouldn't do it".... like telling a private not to finance a Mustang at 35% APR
