Keir Starmer and Joe Biden
Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said that we must be sure that the strategy using such weapons will be effective.
US President Joe Biden and British Prime Minister Keir Strumer will discuss the possibility of allowing Ukraine to use long-range Western weapons against facilities on the territory of the Russian Federation on Friday, September 13. US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken announced this during a press conference on Tuesday, September 10 in London.
He emphasized that it is important to provide Ukrainians not only with such systems and permission for their use, but also to know whether Ukrainians will be able to effectively use these systems, because sometimes thorough preparation is required for this.
According to him, one should be sure that the strategy using such weapons will be effective.
The official added that these issues are being worked on at different levels. And this will be one of the main goals of the joint visit of the heads of the US and British foreign policy departments to Kyiv to hear from the Ukrainian leadership "how exactly Ukrainians see their needs at the present moment."
In Kyiv, Blinken, together with his British colleague, will carefully listen to Ukrainian partners.
"And in the coming days, we will both report on this to the Prime Minister (Stramer - ed.) and President Biden, and I believe that they will discuss this during the meeting on Friday," the US Secretary of State concluded.
