US President Joe Biden will discuss with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Friday, 13 September, allowing the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) to strike Russian territory with long-range weapons, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken has said.
The US secretary of state commented on the possibility of allowing Kiev to launch strikes with long-range weapons deep into Russian territory.
‘We’re going to look and listen to (Ukrainian officials – ed.) and make sure that we have our own best assessment of what is needed, what the goals of Ukrainian partners are for the weeks and months ahead and how we can best support them,’ Anthony Blinken said at a news conference.
He said Biden and Starmer will find positions on the issue for further discussion.
‘I fully expect this to be part of their conversation on Friday,’ the diplomat pointed out.
We will remind, earlier Professor of international relations and public affairs at Columbia University Stephen Biddle said that the situation on the battlefield for Ukraine will not change if Kiev is allowed to strike Russia with Western weapons.
