[Global Times Comprehensive Report] "The White House may reconsider Ukraine's position on using US weapons to attack the Russian mainland." According to the Associated Press, on the 19th local time, US President's National Security Advisor Sullivan said at the Aspen Security Forum that the United States may reconsider its position of allowing the Ukrainian army to use US weapons to strike deep into Russian territory, but no adjustments have been made yet.

Sullivan reportedly said: "I can't give you a clear answer to this question, but I can say that based on President Biden's current position, the situation has changed. Russia is launching a new offensive against Kharkiv, and the reasonable idea is to give Ukraine an opportunity to fight back." He also said: "We are constantly evaluating the situation. Whatever Ukraine needs (weapons supply), we can provide. We are drawing conclusions accordingly." Sullivan said that the types of weapons Washington provided to Kiev and the "parameters" of the weapons the United States began to supply have changed.

Russia's "Newspaper" said that regarding the possibility that the United States may allow Ukraine to launch a new round of strikes on Russian territory with American-made weapons, Russian Foreign Ministry official Alexi Polanchuk said that the United States' actions will continue to escalate the situation. He said that Washington is still trying to justify its crimes and strengthen its support for Kiev. Washington continues to fantasize about its own advantages and hopes to cause Russia a "strategic failure." He warned that not everyone is aware of the risks of the United States' self-deception. The consequences of the United States' move are unpredictable for the United States and the world as a whole.

Russia's Izvestia newspaper quoted a report from the U.S. Aviation Weekly and Space Technology website on the 21st, saying that the U.S. Air Force plans to develop low-cost long-range aerial ammunition (ERAM) for Ukraine. The new ERAM product has a range of 450 kilometers, weighs 250 kilograms, flies at a minimum speed of Mach 0.6, and can be launched without using GPS satellite navigation. This will greatly enhance the Ukrainian army's ability to strike Russian territory.

In view of the increasing threat of weapons provided by the United States to Ukraine, Russia has strengthened the protection of key areas such as Crimea. Crimean Chief Executive Aksyonov said on the "Russia 24" TV program on the 19th that due to the frequent attacks by Ukraine on Crimea, a modern air defense system has been established in Crimea, "which has achieved a high degree of effectiveness overall." The Russian Satellite News Network said on the 21st that the 8th "Artek Friendship Gathering" international event kicked off in Crimea that day, with more than 3,000 children from all over Russia and more than 700 children from more than 60 countries including Western countries coming here for vacation. This shows that Russia is very confident in Crimea's air defense system. (Liu Yupeng)
