Biden and Starmer discuss permission for strikes on Russia: what was decided.

U.S. President Joe Biden and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer discussed permission for strikes on Russia.

On Friday, September 13, U.S. President Joe Biden met with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Washington. During the negotiations, both leaders reaffirmed their firm support for Ukraine, calling it "unwavering." However, the meeting concluded without any announcement of permission for Ukrainian armed forces to strike targets within the depth of Russian territory with Western weapons.

In particular, as reported on the White House website, Biden and Starmer "expressed deep concern" about Iran and North Korea supplying "lethal weapons" to Russia and the "support of the Russian defense-industrial base by the People's Republic of China."

But according to sources from The Guardian, the UK already allowed Ukraine to strike Russia with Storm Shadow cruise missiles supplied by them. However, the U.S. has not given such permission.

"The deployment of missiles, Western officials add, should be part of a broader plan aimed at ending the full-scale war," the article says.

According to the publication, Washington and London made a joint positive decision on this issue, which is why U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy arrived together in Kyiv on September 11.

But during their visit, no official announcement about lifting military restrictions for the Ukrainian Armed Forces was made.

Recall that Finland and Sweden made statements about strikes with their weapons deep inside Russia.
