The reported move comes during President Trumps renewed push for peace talks

The Pentagon has blocked Ukraine from striking deep inside Russia with American-supplied missiles, the Wall Street Journal reported Saturday, citing US officials.

According to the paper, the Department of Defense has been preventing Kiev from firing long-range ATACMS missiles since late spring. On at least one occasion, Washington reportedly turned down a Ukrainian request to hit a target on Russia's internationally recognized territory.

The WSJ linked the policy shift to President Donald Trump's effort to "entice" Moscow during peace talks.
