Kharkiv mayor says permission to use weapons against Russia has brought 'period of calm'

Fox News' Greg Palkot on the latest from the war in Ukraine as more weapons are sent from U.S. Ukraine's army has struck missile launch positions in Russia, helping to reduce the number of attacks on the embattled city of Kharkiv, its mayor told Reuters on Tuesday. His comments came after U.S. President Joe Biden late last month approved the use of American weapons to strike targets inside Russia that were being used to attack Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city located close to the Russian border. While missile and drone strikes continue, Ihor Terekhov said the change had helped bring relative "calm." "This has helped," Terekhov said in an interview in Berlin, when asked whether the ability to strike inside Russia had alleviated the situation following weeks of heavy bombardment. "That is why maybe Kharkiv has ... this period of ... calm the last couple of weeks ... that there were no great strikes as it was, for example, in May." He was speaking through a translator.
