US secretary of state Antony Blinken and UK foreign secretary David Lammy held talks in Kyiv with Ukrainian officials on Wednesday about possibly lifting restrictions on Ukraine using western-made weapons to conduct attacks deep inside Russia.
Blinken and Lammy highlighted how Russia had stepped up its attacks on Ukraine in recent months, as they accused Iran of sending ballistic missiles to Moscow for use in the war.
US President Joe Biden said on Tuesday he was “working” on Kyiv’s request to lift restrictions on using the US-made Army Tactical Missile System to target military sites far inside Russia that are used to launch strikes against Ukraine.
