Ukraine Aggressively Lobbying US To Get More Directly Involved In The War

Ukraine's government is currently lobbying Washington hard to get the Biden administration to greenlight attacks on Russian soil using US-supplied weapons.

On an official level the White House has long had a ban in effect which forbids Kiev forces from using US-provided missile systems in cross-border attacks. However, many observers have suspected Ukraine already blew past this 'red line' prohibition long ago. The US has wanted to avoid measures which might lead to direct Russia-NATO clash, ostensibly at least.

But now Ukrainian officials are busy in the halls of Congress, with The Hill detailing, "A delegation of five Ukrainian members of parliament traveled to Washington this week to meet with Biden administration officials and congressional lawmakers in a bid to push the U.S. to reverse the ban."
