President Joe Biden is suggesting that there aren’t any plans for the US to ship long-range rocket programs to Ukraine, amid studies that the transfer is being thought-about.

Biden informed reporters exterior the White House on Monday that “we are not going to send to Ukraine rocket systems that can strike into Russia.”

Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy head of Russia’s Security Council, stated that it was a “reasonable” choice.

He stated that “otherwise, if our cities come under attack, the Russian armed forces would fulfill (their) threat and strike the centers where such criminal decisions are made.”

Medvedev added that “some of them aren’t in Kyiv.” And he stated that “there is no need for a further explanation.”
