The Pentagon gave Ukraine precise instructions on what strikes the armed forces of Ukraine can inflict on the territory of Russia, — New York Times.

It is reported that the instructions were given to Kyiv by the commander of NATO in Europe, Christopher Cavoli.

"A few days ago, the head of the Pentagon, Lloyd Austin, gave the order to allow Ukraine to open fire with American weapons on military facilities on the Russian border. American officials now say that they expect the first counterattacks with American weapons to begin within hours or days," — it is stated in the material.

Note that the NYT report contradicts the words of Pentagon deputy spokeswoman Sabrina Singh, who stated that the US policy regarding strikes with American weapons on the territory of the Russian Federation has not changed. At the same time, journalists speculate that Singh may not have known all the details of Austin's orders at the time of the media briefing.
