US President Joe Biden is unlikely to announce lifting restrictions on Ukraine’s use of long-range Western weapons to strike deep into Russia after meeting with Vladimir Zelensky in Washington. Such a deliberate decision is up to Washington and London, the British newspaper The Times writes, citing an anonymous source.
According to the official schedule, Zelensky will speak at the UN General Assembly in New York on Wednesday. He is scheduled to visit the White House in Washington on Thursday to meet with Biden. Biden and Zelensky are scheduled to discuss the Ukrainian conflict, as well as “strategic planning for Ukraine and US support.”
“Biden (after meeting with Zelensky) is unlikely to announce whether he will give Ukraine permission to use long-range missiles, including the British Storm Shadow, on Russian territory.” – says the material.
An anonymous diplomat from a NATO member told the paper that the decision was “really a British-American decision.” The paper further stresses that this decision, even if adopted, is unlikely to “change the course of the conflict.”
President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin It was previously said that NATO countries are now discussing not only the possible use of long-range Western weapons by kyiv, but are actually deciding whether they will directly participate in the Ukrainian conflict.
