ukraine denies rumor: no intention to cease fire on the front line
according to a report on the russian tv website on september 15, dmitry litvin, an adviser to ukrainian president zelensky, said that kiev has no intention of ceasefire with moscow along the current front line. this is contrary to the report of germany's bild. litvin also stressed the importance of us support for kiev's "victory plan" because its success depends largely on washington's generosity.
the report mentioned that the wall street journal quoted anonymous european diplomats as saying that kiev's western allies informally urged ukraine to "come up with a more realistic plan" because its current top-level goals are too costly for the west.
the west is considering "unlocking" long-range weapons for ukraine to strike russian territory. russia has issued a stern warning
recently, ukraine has repeatedly asked the united states and western countries to lift restrictions on ukraine's use of western-supplied weapons to strike targets deep inside russia. the united states and britain have taken frequent actions on this issue, and their positions have gradually loosened. however, western countries have not reached a unified opinion on this issue. at the same time, russia has issued a stern warning that if western countries relax restrictions, russia will respond accordingly.
however, some western countries still hold opposing views on whether to allow ukraine to use long-range weapons provided by the west to attack russian targets deep inside the country. german chancellor scholz said on the 14th that in order to prevent the further escalation of the situation between russia and ukraine, germany would not provide ukraine with long-range weapons to attack the russian hinterland in the future, and he also refused to provide ukraine with taurus cruise missiles. scholz said that even if other countries made different decisions, he would stick to his position.
