Too bad Lecter isn't real. Trump could ask for an introduction when he gets to prison.
This is HUGE. Like saying, "I surrender".

Ukrainian parliamentarians ask Washington to allow US weapons to hit targets in the Russian Federation, - Politico
"The main problem now is the policy of the White House aimed at limiting our ability to strike military targets inside Russia," said David Arahamia, head of the Servant of the People faction (pictured).
Russia is aware of this limitation, which is why it has deployed at least 30,000 military personnel and equipment on the border, not fearing the impact of long-range tactical missile systems supplied by the United States, which Ukraine has used with devastating effect against Russian troops on the territory of Ukraine.
"The aid is for defense, not for offensive operations on Russian territory," said one American official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive issues.
A group of Ukrainian parliamentarians is in the US this week seeking Congressional help in resolving the issue, which they say is stymieing Ukraine's military action as Kyiv seeks to strike Russian military depots located in Russia.
