MOSCOW, May 31, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - The Kremlin said Friday that US weapons were already being used by Ukrainian forces to target Russia, after Washington partially lifted restrictions allowing Ukraine to defend its Kharkiv region.

"We know that in general, American-made weapons are already being used to attempt strikes on Russian territory. And this is quite eloquent evidence of the extent of US involvement in this conflict," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
