according to foreign media reports, the united states may be ready to approve ukraine's use of non-us-provided western long-range weapons to strike targets in russia. at the same time, the russian president warned that lifting restrictions on ukraine's use of western weapons would directly lead to the united states and its allies intervening in the conflict with russia, and russia would make "appropriate decisions" based on the threats it faces.

according to bloomberg on the 12th, citing people familiar with the matter, the us and british governments are discussing allowing ukraine to deploy british cruise missiles supported by us navigation data in order to carry out long-range strikes into russian territory.

britain has reportedly told the united states that it is keen to allow ukraine to use storm shadow long-range missiles to strike russian military targets far from ukraine's borders, but britain wants explicit approval from u.s. president joe biden to show a coordinated strategy with the united states and france, both of which manufacture such missiles.

according to reports, the white house has long debated this issue. on september 13, local time, us president biden will discuss this issue when he meets with british prime minister starmer who is visiting washington.
