The removal of restrictions on strikes with Western long-range weapons was also one of the main topics of the joint visit to Kyiv by the heads of the foreign ministries of Great Britain and the United States, David Lemmy and Antony Blinken.
The UK has decided to allow Ukraine to use Storm Shadow cruise missiles against Russian targets. However, it will not be officially announced in the near future to avoid “unnecessary provocations.” The Guardian writes about this on Wednesday, September 11, citing sources in the British government.
The material says that the British side seems to consider the public statement of using long-range missiles to strike Russia as “extremely provocative.”
It is also “in all likelihood” that Ukraine will be able to use Storm Shadow with some restrictions.
“It is likely that restrictions will continue to be placed on the use of missiles by Ukraine with a range of at least 300 km to prevent reckless or unnecessary attacks,” the newspaper wrote.
Sources added that the joint visit of Blinken and Lemmy to Kyiv would not have happened if a positive decision had not been made on Storm Shadow.
According to The Guardian, Secretary of State Blinken in Kiev also “indicated” that Washington made a similar decision on ATACMS missiles. According to Blinken, the United States is ready “from day one” to adjust its policy in Ukraine depending on the situation on the battlefield and “will continue to do so.”
We remind you that the heads of the diplomatic departments of the United States and Britain, Antony Blinken and David Lemmy, arrived in Kyiv on Wednesday, September 11.
