Ukraine has drawn up a list of targets they would strike with the US weapons. And they have so far been using the US weapons only to strike targets allowed by the US. Even when it has been clearly against Ukrainian interests. I'd say that they can be trusted to only go after the targets they say. Ukraine cannot afford to lose western support.
I think what is preventing the US and allies from allowing strikes on deep Russian targets is the same as it ever was. The fear of escalation. And what they are trying to do is to slowly cook the frog. Small incremental increases in allowances.
