“The public should not expect statements from London or Washington that would directly allow Ukraine to change course,” RIA Novosti quotes.
At the same time, the article notes that the public will learn about this decision “if small military facilities suddenly catch fire.”
Recall that Ukraine is asking the West for permission to use British long-range Storm Shadow missiles and American ATACMS for attacks on Russian territory.
The United States wants kyiv to provide a detailed strategy for deep strikes against Russia using Western weapons before authorizing such actions. According to media reports, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and British Foreign Secretary David Lammy expected to receive such a plan during their visit to Ukraine.
US President Joe Biden said the day before that Washington was looking into the matter. As for the British authorities, according to media reports, a decision has already been made to allow Ukraine to use long-range Storm Shadow missiles against targets deep inside Russia.
