Joe Biden didn't allow Ukraine to attack Russia and under his presidency USA delivered only enough weapons so Ukraine can defend

Multiple credible sources confirm that President Biden initially imposed restrictions on Ukraine's use of American-supplied weapons, limiting their use primarily to defensive operations within Ukrainian territory. This aligns with the claim that Biden did not broadly allow Ukraine to attack Russia.

However, in May 2024, Biden partially lifted these restrictions, permitting Ukraine to use U.S. Weapons for limited strikes inside Russian territory, specifically near the Kharkiv region. This was framed as a defensive measure to protect Ukrainian forces and territory under threat from Russian attacks.

The claim that the U.S. Delivered only enough weapons for Ukraine's defense is generally supported by the cautious approach described in the sources, which emphasize controlled and limited use of U.S. Arms rather than enabling offensive operations deep into Russia.

The sources indicate a nuanced policy: while Biden did not allow unrestricted Ukrainian attacks on Russia, he authorized targeted strikes inside Russian territory for defensive counter-fire purposes.

Some opinion pieces (e.g., AEI) discuss the political and strategic reasons behind these restrictions, highlighting concerns about escalation and congressional opposition.
