The US and UK may lift restrictions on Ukraine's use of long-range weapons against Russia this month. The deal may be approved at the UN General Assembly, Politico wrote, APA reports.
Recently, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer visited the White House to meet with US President Joe Biden. The leaders discussed the possible lifting of restrictions on Ukraine's use of long-range weapons. This includes allowing long-range Western missiles provided to Ukraine to hit military targets in Russia.
Four UK officials told Politico they did not expect any official announcement this weekend. One of them suggested that the US-UK deal could be confirmed at the UN General Assembly later this month. Then world leaders, including Biden and Starmer, will gather in New York.
Western officials also believe that this decision alone will not change the course of the war. However, the West has been increasingly open to Ukraine's requests to help halt Russia's offensive on the eastern front in recent months.
