This is the best summary I could come up with:
President Joe Biden has partially lifted a ban on Ukraine using American weapons in strikes on Russian territory, according to US officials.
The change in American policy is understood to apply only to defend the area of Kharkiv, according to reports.
It comes as Ukrainian officials have stepped up calls on the US administration to allow its forces to defend itself against Russian attacks.
But officials underscored that the US policy calling on Ukraine not to use American long-range missiles and other munitions to strike inside Russia offensively has not changed.
Antony Blinken, the US secretary of state, had earlier hinted about the change in policy at a meeting of NATO foreign ministers in Prague on Thursday.
There, he said Moscow’s use of misinformation and disinformation was a “poison” and signed an agreement with the Czech government to combat it.
