Biden's administration is "working out" whether the United States will approve Ukraine using long-range weapons deep inside Russia, the president told American media.
Earlier on Tuesday, White House National Security Communications Adviser John Kirby reiterated the United States’ position on not enabling or encouraging attacks inside Russia, especially not with US-made weapons.
Kirby made the statement after Ukraine conducted a large-scale drone attack on Russia that killed a woman in a Moscow suburb.
Western countries ramped up their military support to the Kiev regime shortly after the beginning of the Russian special military operation. Moscow has repeatedly warned that such assistance would add to exacerbating the conflict. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov cautioned that any cargo that contains weapons for Ukraine would become a legitimate target for Russian forces.

Debate poses challenge for Harris amid rising voter frustration
Journalist and author Dan Lazare sat down with radio Sputnik’s Political Misfits to preview the event, predicting that Harris will have the more difficult task in the debate.
Ultimately, Lazare said that Harris has the harder task because “all the polls show that people are really hungry for change. They feel the status quo is totally dysfunctional.” Lazare noted that the argument that Harris is both the continuity candidate and the change candidate “doesn’t make any sense” to him but that “maybe it’ll make sense to enough viewers to squeak out a victory.”
The best strategy for Harris, one that she is sure to lean on heavily during the debates, is to focus on the abortion issue. A recent poll showed Trump leading Harris by just two points in Florida, a significant drop off from Trump’s 3.7-point win over Joe Biden in the sunshine state in 2020.
One reason for the drop may be a voter initiative ballot in the state that would loosen restrictions on abortion.
The US Presidential debate is scheduled to begin at 9 pm EST (1 am GMT).

Journalist and author Dan Lazare sat down with radio Sputnik’s Political Misfits to preview the event, predicting that Harris will have the more difficult task in the debate.
“I think that Trump is gonna try to tie Harris to the Biden administration. Hold her responsible for all the things that have gone wrong - inflation, Afghanistan,” Lazare began, arguing that Harris will try to “make the case that she somehow simultaneously stands for continuity and change.”
“The question is whether… Trump can block that strategy or not,” he added.

“The Republicans are on very dangerous territory on the abortion issue. It’s not a popular stance,” explained Lazare. “And the Republican culture war is not popular either. Most people don’t want to ban books in libraries. Most people think it’s really, really silly. But, nonetheless, this is a central issue as far as the Republicans are concerned and they can’t let it go. So, they could well end up paying a price.”

A group of protesters opposing judicial reform stormed the Mexican Senate building in the capital, where the reform was being debated. The demonstrators breached the chamber, disrupting proceedings in the upper house of Congress.
Earlier, the plenum of the Chamber of Deputies of Congress, as well as the constitutional affairs and legislative studies commissions of the Mexican Senate, approved a draft reform of the judiciary, which provides for the election of top judges and limits on their income.
The initiative by outgoing President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador is being considered in parliament amid protests against the changes by judges and judicial officials, as well as opposition parties. An indefinite nationwide strike in Mexican courts, including the supreme court, began in late August.

Kamala Harris will use a shorter podium than Donald Trump during the debate to account for their significant height difference, Axios reported. The move aims to make them appear closer in stature on split screens, but critics find it a bit absurd.
