Sharp fractures are opening between Kyiv and its Western backers, including the United States, over the future of Ukraine's defense against Russia's invasion. Ukrainian leaders complained about Washington's restrictions on their response to Russian attacks and the focus on fighting corruption amid the escalating war.
The sharpest battlefield disagreement centers on whether Ukraine can use donated weapons to strike targets on Russian soil. The U.S. has prohibited this to avoid escalating to a direct conflict with Moscow, while some NATO leaders like Finland and Canada have supported Ukraine's right to do so, contrary to U.S. reluctance.
