## Biden approaching ban lift on Ukraine strikes on Russia with American weapons – NYT

Authored by pravda.com.ua

President Joe Biden is approaching a change in position to authorise Ukraine to strike Russian territory with American weaponry.

However, as the publication points out, if the US president does change his stance, permission to strike Russia will be tied to strict limitations on the use of American weapons provided to the Ukrainians.

The NYT suggests that strikes employing the US-made weapons would be restricted to military targets within Russia's borders, from where occupying forces attack Ukraine.

It is also stated that Biden is likely to maintain a prohibition on the use of American weapons for strikes deep into Russian territory or against critical infrastructure.

American officials, speaking anonymously, say that if Biden changes his position, he is unlikely to announce it.

Instead, American artillery shells and missiles "will just start landing on Russian military targets.".

Earlier, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken hinted that the Biden administration may be open to allowing Ukraine to use US-supplied weapons to strike Russian territory. »

Over 600 works of art were put on display in the Central Institute for Restoration’s offices, from life-size bronze statues to tiny Roman coins.

That means that, in addition to the items themselves, their historical context was stolen, robbing archaeologists of valuable information.

Most of the recent items returned to Italy were dug out of clandestine excavations or stolen from churches, museums and private individuals, Gargaro said. »
