Donald Trump is reportedly considering lifting all Biden-era limits on Ukraine’s military operations, including strikes inside Russia, as Western officials signal growing support for Kyiv following intensified Russian attacks.
US President Donald Trump is “seriously considering” lifting all remaining Biden-era restrictions on Ukraine’s use of Western-supplied weapons, two senior Western officials told Kyiv Post.
“All the previously imposed restrictions - whether already eased or not - are currently under review, as President [Trump] believes the current status quo does not serve our shared interest in bringing Russia to the negotiation table,” one official said.
The potential shift comes amid growing European support for Ukraine’s right to strike military targets inside Russia. On the same day, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz confirmed that range restrictions on weapons supplied to Ukraine had been lifted. The Kremlin called the move “dangerous.”
Merz’s announcement followed a third consecutive night of massive Russian missile and drone attacks across Ukraine.
According to officials, Trump’s final position on Ukraine policy will be shaped during talks with German leaders in Washington this week. German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul is expected to visit the U.S. capital shortly. He also confirmed that new EU sanctions are in preparation and will likely be supported by the U.S.
Military experts say that lifting the remaining restrictions would mark a significant change in the conflict. Jorge Rivero, a Washington-based specialist on the Russia-Ukraine war, said Ukraine would gain the ability to strike Russian military sites - including drone bases and bomber airfields - with long-range precision.
“This could allow Kyiv to disrupt Russian logistics and command centers deep inside Russian territory,” Rivero explained. “Until now, Western-imposed limits have shielded much of Russia’s military infrastructure. Changing that would alter the balance.”
