[text/observer.com xiong chaoran] according to afp and reuters local time on september 10, us president biden said that day that he was "studying" the possibility of authorizing ukraine to use us-made long-range missiles against russia. when leaving the white house for new york that day, biden was asked by reporters whether he would lift restrictions on ukraine's use of long-range weapons. he said: "we are studying this issue."

the report said that the united states had been reluctant to provide or approve the use of weapons capable of attacking targets deep inside russia for fear of escalating the conflict.

ria novosti reported that earlier that day, kirby, the strategic communications coordinator of the white house national security council, had tried to assure that the united states still did not support ukraine's attacks deep into russia, including the use of american weapons. however, us secretary of state blinken said on the same day that biden planned to meet with british prime minister starmer on september 13 local time to discuss allowing the ukrainian army to use long-range weapons provided by the united states and britain to strike russia. blinken admitted that washington would allow kiev to use us-made long-range army tactical missile system (atacms) missiles to attack russia.

ria novosti quoted western media as saying that previous reports had shown that the united states might allow kiev to launch a deep attack on russia in the near future, and some people in the us government have taken this position and are now trying to convince biden.

"axios news network" quoted michael mccaul, chairman of the u.s. house foreign affairs committee, as saying that during his upcoming visit to ukraine, blinken will convey the u.s. permission for the ukrainian military to use atacms missiles to strike russia.

according to reports, in mid-july this year, the pentagon said that the united states would not allow kiev to use american atacms missiles to carry out "deep strikes" on russian territory, but "this situation may also change." at the same time, in response to the question of whether it is time to allow the ukrainian army to use these long-range weapons to attack russian military targets, us state department deputy spokesperson patel said that he would not have private diplomatic discussions with ukrainian partners.

on august 6, local time, ukraine sent a group of military personnel to the kursk region of russian territory, which was the largest attack launched by ukraine on russian territory since the outbreak of the russian-ukrainian conflict. in a video speech on the evening of august 10, local time, in which he first admitted that the ukrainian army was launching an attack on the russian border, zelensky called on western allies to make a "strong decision" to lift restrictions on the ukrainian army's use of western weapons to carry out in-depth strikes in russia.

according to reuters and ukrainian pravda on august 31 local time, after his delegation met with senior us officials in washington, zelensky increased "pressure" on the united states and the west that day, demanding that the united states, britain, france and germany allow kiev to deploy long-range weapons provided by the west to strike military targets deep in russian territory. he also demanded more long-range ammunition and missiles.

in an interview report published by russia's izvestia on august 16 local time, russian presidential aide and former secretary of the russian federation security council patrushev said that the ukrainian army's entry into the kursk region was planned with the participation of nato and the west, and was driven by the realization that the kiev regime was "about to collapse." without the permission of the united states and the support of nato, ukraine would never dare to enter russian territory on a large scale.

according to reports from russia today (rt) and reuters, on august 27 local time, russian foreign minister lavrov said that the west is "playing with fire" by considering allowing ukraine to use its missiles and other weapons to remotely strike targets in russia. he warned that world war iii would not be limited to europe.

at the same time, western media have also recently hyped up the news that "iran is sending missiles to russia." on september 7, the wall street journal quoted two "informed sources" as saying that the united states has informed its allies that it believes iran has transferred short-range ballistic missiles to russia for use in the russia-ukraine conflict.

sources said the ballistic missiles transferred to russia were the conqueror-360 ballistic missiles, a short-range ballistic missile with a range of less than 120 kilometers, with a total of 200 missiles. the missiles were delivered to russia via a port on the caspian sea. the white house refused to confirm the existence of an arms transfer, but reiterated its concerns about iran's increased support for russia. the white house has warned iran for months not to transfer ballistic missiles to russia.

however, in response to the above "accusations", the russian satellite news agency reported on september 7 that iran's permanent mission to the united nations denied western media reports that iran provided ballistic missiles to russia, and stated that iran's position on the russia-ukraine conflict has not changed.
