  • Story Text:The Kremlin said on Friday (May 31) that it was already aware of attempts by Ukraine to strike targets on Russian territory with weapons provided by the United States.
    Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov was commenting after four U.S. officials told Reuters on Thursday that U.S. President Joe Biden had quietly authorised Kyiv to launch U.S.-supplied weapons at military targets inside Russia that are supporting an offensive against the northeastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv.
    Peskov said that while "nothing is known" to the Kremlin about the details of Biden's decision the reported step showed how deeply Washington was involved in the conflict.
