Earlier it became known about the visit of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer to Washington. The UK prime minister reportedly plans to hold talks with US President Joe Biden. According to Western media, one of the possible topics of the meeting could be the lifting of the officially existing ban on kyiv attacking Russian territory with long-range Western weapons.
“There is no change in our approach to this,” Kirby said, RIA Novosti reports. “And I would not expect to see such a change today.”
The day before, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that NATO countries, while discussing the issue of granting permission to kyiv to use long-range missiles, were actually deciding whether they would directly participate in hostilities. The head of state warned that the direct involvement of the West changes the whole essence of the conflict in Ukraine, for which the Russian Federation will be ready to retaliate.
