WASHINGTON - US President Joe Biden and his team are still considering the sending of longer-range rocket systems to Ukraine but do not want them used to launch attacks inside Russian territory, the

White House said on Tuesday .

Other US officials have said Mr Biden does not want them launched into Russian territory to avoid broadening the Ukraine war. Mr Biden and his team are working on a new package of military equipment using some of the money from a US$40 million budget appropriation approved by the US Congress. Thousands of people have been killed in Ukraine and millions more displaced since the Russian invasion on Feb 24, which Moscow calls a"special military operation" to"denazify" its neighbour. Ukraine and its Western allies call this a baseless pretext for a war to seize territory.
