Business Insider: Biden says the US will give Ukraine more advanced rocket systems but won't enable the country to 'strike beyond its borders'
* President Joe Biden says the US will provide more advanced rocket systems to Ukraine.
* Ukraine has been asking the US for long-range artillery, which it says is needed for its defense.
* These systems have double the range of the M777 howitzers that the US previously sent to Ukraine.
The US will be providing Ukraine with more advanced rocket systems and munitions to allow Ukrainian forces to "more precisely strike key targets on the battlefield," President Joe Biden wrote in a Tuesday op-ed for The New York Times.
However, these weapons are only meant for Kyiv's forces to inflict casualties within Ukraine, and the US isn't "encouraging or enabling Ukraine to strike beyond its borders," Biden added.
"We do not want to prolong the war just to inflict pain on Russia," he wrote, per The Times.
