House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul is asking Secretary of State Blinken if his administration will lift restrictions on weapons provided to Ukraine.

💬 They won't be able to win with the limitations you put on them, says Michael McCall

Many have already seen a photo from this fragment, but the full context must also be understood here. Blinken then repeated his ambiguous message, which he said when he was on a recent visit to Kyiv. He says that Ukraine should decide for itself how to use its weapons.

In turn, McCaul emphasized that the Congress itself, when deciding on aid to Ukraine, did not impose such restrictions on strikes on the territory of Russia. That is, all responsibility lies with the Biden administration.

Separately, pay attention to the graph itself, drawn by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW). It shows three ranges of American weapons - Himars systems (86+ km), cluster ATACMS (165+ km) and ATACMS with a unitary warhead (300+ km).
