[global network report] on september 13, local time, british prime minister starmer met with us president biden at the white house to discuss whether to allow ukraine to use western long-range weapons to attack russia. reuters reported on the same day that the move by the uk and the us has aroused doubts from some us officials, who believe that this approach will not have a significant effect on ukraine's defense against russian attacks.

the report said that u.s. officials believe that ukraine already has the ability to use drones to strike targets in russia. although the u.s. army tactical missile system (atacms) can further enhance this capability, due to the high cost and limited number of these missiles, they cannot "fundamentally change the situation of the war."

on the 11th, an anti-drone system was exhibited at the kiev military equipment exhibition in ukraine. (visual china)

the report said that us officials also said that in addition,kremlinthe group, which has largely moved russian warplanes that launch glide bombs out of range of u.s. missiles, said ukraine should focus on stopping russia's advance in the east.

reuters also said that for biden, this decision is not just a tactical issue. it also raises another question: whether authorizing such a strike could lead to a direct war between nato and russia.

according to a previous report by bloomberg, tamer will meet with us president biden in washington on the 13th, when the two sides will discuss whether to allow ukraine to launch long-range missile systems provided by the west into russia. according to reports, us secretary of state blinken recently visited the uk and other european countries to consult with the leaders of the uk, ukraine and poland on further lifting restrictions on the use of weapons against ukraine. he and british foreign secretary lamy made a rare joint visit to kiev on wednesday. blinken promised that washington will quickly review kiev's long-standing request and "make adjustments as needed" to help ukraine defend its security.

according to media reports, russian president vladimir putin issued a stern warning to the united states and other western countries on the 12th local time. he said that the direct involvement of nato, the united states and european countries in the russia-ukraine conflict will completely change the nature of the conflict, which "will mean that they will go to war with russia" and russia will "make appropriate decisions" based on the threats it faces.

russian presidential press secretary peskov said on the 13th, "we have no doubt that president putin's statement has been conveyed to the recipient." he emphasized, "president putin's statement is very important, very clear and unambiguous. don't have any double interpretation of it."
