President Joe Biden said on Thursday that the U.S. does not support Ukraine using longer-range weapons to attack the interior of Russia, even after he recently allowed Ukraine to make limited, short-range attacks just across the Russian border.

"It makes a lot of sense for Ukraine to be able to take out or combat what is going across that border. In terms of long-range weapons ... we have not changed our position on that," Biden said. (Reporting By Jarrett Renshaw; Editing by Leslie Adler)
