Media: US and UK agree to Ukraine's use of long-range missiles on russian territory

For a long time, Ukraine has been asking its Western partners for permission to use their long-range missiles to strike military facilities deep inside russian territory.

Military experts have repeatedly emphasised that it is more effective to "destroy the archer rather than the arrow", explaining the need for strikes, for example, against airfields from which planes of a terrorist country take off, which systematically destroy civilian and energy infrastructure, claiming many lives in the process.

For a long time Western democracies have been discussing the feasibility of such a decision and the situation seems to have moved on.

Here's What We Know

Today - 14 September - US President Joseph Biden met with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer at the White House. Among the main topics was the discussion of granting Ukraine the right to strike with long-range Western-made missiles to destroy air bases, missile positions and other military targets deep inside Russia.

Since there was no press conference after the talks, it was not officially announced what decision was reached by Ukraine's main partners. However, The Guardian's sources said that the sides had reached an agreement and would allow Ukraine to use long-range missiles.

It is noted that no statements will be made before the first missile falls on a military facility of the aggressor country.

Journalists noted that Biden and Stramer do not pay attention to the threats of dictator Putin about the escalation of the conflict. Recall that on Thursday he said that by taking a positive decision on Storm Shadow and other long-range missiles, "NATO countries will become direct participants in the conflict and Russia will retaliate." However, Starmer told reporters that "it was Russia that started this conflict. Russia illegally invaded Ukraine. Russia can immediately put an end to this conflict. Ukraine has the right to self-defence."
