The US is now assessing the possibility of allowing Ukraine to strike deep into Russia with its weapons.
A group of Republican congressmen in the House of Representatives called on Joe Biden to allow Kyiv to strike targets deep in Russia with US weapons. We are talking about long-range weapons.
CNN writes about this .
It is noted that the Republicans wrote a letter to the head of the White House on Monday, September 9. It echoes repeated calls from the Ukrainian government itself, in particular President Volodymyr Zelensky.
The authors of the publication emphasize that it was sent on the eve of the visit of Secretary of State Anthony Blinken to the capital of Ukraine on Wednesday, September 11, as “the Biden administration continues to evaluate Kiev's request to strike deeper than Russia.”
“US officials expect Blinken, who is travelling to Ukraine with UK Foreign Secretary David Lemmy, to gather information on how these long-range strikes would factor into Ukraine's broader battlefield strategy during his trip to Kiev. The UK is also considering allowing Ukraine to strike deeper into Russia with its own long-range Storm Shadow system,” CNN reported.
“We will be listening closely to our Ukrainian partners. In the coming days, we will “We will both report to the Prime Minister, President Biden. And I fully expect that they will discuss this when they meet on Friday,” the US diplomat said in London on Tuesday, September 10.
Later on Tuesday, when asked whether the US would lift the restrictions, Biden said the administration was deciding on that now.
Recall that the head of the US House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee Michael McCaul reported earlier that Blinken would announce permission to strike deep into Russia during his visit to Ukraine.
