Report: US Approves of Kiev Using American Weapons to Strike Crimea | Farsnews Agency

The US approves of Kiev using the American weapons to strike Crimea as it believes that would be self-defense, the POLITICO newspaper reported on Wednesday, citing a senior US administration official.
"We don't select targets, of course, and everything we've provided is for self-defense purposes. Any target they choose to pursue on sovereign Ukrainian soil is by definition self-defense," the official said.

When the reporter checked if Washington considered Crimea sovereign Ukrainian territory, the official replied, "Crimea is Ukraine."

A senior Pentagon official earlier said the US didn’t provide Ukraine with weapons that could be used to shell military targets in Crimea.
