WASHINGTON — British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and US President Joe Biden will meet Friday to discuss the possibility of allowing Kyiv to use long-range missiles against Russia, in what is likely their last meeting before an election that could overturn US policy on Ukraine.
Kyiv is pushing Washington and London to lift a restriction on firing arms made by those countries, with Russian President Vladimir Putin warning that giving Ukraine the green light would mean NATO was 'at war' with Moscow.British media reported that Biden, who is wary of provoking a nuclear conflict, was ready to let Ukraine deploy British and French missiles using US technology but not US-made missiles themselves.
'War with Russia'Ukraine will be the main focus, amid mounting concerns over Ukraine's losses on the battlefield more than two-and-a-half years into the war.Biden said on Tuesday that he was 'working' on Ukraine's demands, while top US and British diplomats Antony Blinken and David Lammy made a rare joint visit to Kyiv on Wednesday.
