"On Tuesday, asked if the US will lift the restrictions, Biden answered, 'we’re working that out right now.'
Two US officials later told CNN that the Biden administration is not anticipating any policy changes when it comes to lifting restrictions.
Still, others have said that the debate over the matter is ongoing. US officials expect Blinken, who is traveling to Ukraine with British Foreign Secretary David Lammy, to gather information during his trip to Kyiv on how these longer-range strikes would factor into Ukraine’s broader battlefield strategy."

A bit earlier today Ukrainian sources began to claim that Russian Su-30 was downed over the Black Sea. Now Russian sources associated with Russian military aviation seem to confirm this in the usual manner.

/2. Claims from Ukrainian sources regarding the Russian Su-30:
"Yesterday, around 11:40 p.m., an enemy Su-30SM tactical aircraft "disappeared" over the Black Sea after launching Kh-31P missiles targeting Odesa region.
Today, search and rescue operations are ongoing at the place of its disappearance (63 km from Zaliznyi Port, Kherson region).
There was no information about the two crew members, there is a possibility that both did not survive."

❗️🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇦 The Guardian reports that Ukraine will soon have authorization to strike Russia with Storm Shadow cruise missiles, per British government sources.
The hold up has been the Biden Admin, with President Zelensky previously stating that consensus was required between London & DC.
The lifting of restrictions on ATACMS is also under active consideration.
The Guardian adds that: "It is also likely there will still be restrictions around Ukraine’s use of the missiles".

Bloomberg: 🇺🇸 Wants 🇺🇦 to Detail Plan Before Allowing 🇷🇺 Strikes
"That includes a better sense of what Kyiv wants to target and why"
It sounds like Biden wants veto authority over what they're allowed to hit. So "lifting restrictions" doesn't actually lift restrictions at all.
The Biden Admin would be able to still dictate what Ukraine can hit and could even warn the Russians in advance.
Absolutely ridiculous.

🇺🇸🇪🇬🇨🇳 The State Department has notified Congress that they are releasing the remaining $320 million in Foreign Military Financing funds appropriated for Egypt. Egypt receives $1.3 billion in FMF annually; the first $980m was committed earlier this year.
This should put to rest the speculation that Egypt will procure J-10Cs from the PRC. These funds would not be released if the US Government had any indication that Egypt was going to sign such a deal. Egypt just signed a FMS LOA for C-130J transport aircraft, so these funds may be obligated to that case.

🇺🇸🇺🇦 Politico: "The White House is finalizing a plan to ease some restrictions on how Ukraine can use U.S.-donated weapons"
Emphasis on "some restrictions". Confirms Bloomberg's reporting that Ukraine will not be free to strike whatever they deem militarily necessary. Seems like a pretty limited policy change. https://twitter.com/ColbyBadhwar/status/1833952670698418245#m
