President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky plans to meet with US President Joe Biden this month to discuss critical issues of military assistance. One of the main aspects of negotiations will be permission to strikes in Russian territories with the help of US long -range missiles. This was reported by US Presidential Advisor Jake Sullivan.
“Intense consultations” on the strikes in
According to Sky News , Sullivan has confirmed that the use of Western weapons for strikes in Russia is the subject of "intensive consultations" between allies. This issue came to the fore in connection with the need to counteract Russian attacks on critical infrastructure of Ukraine.
Biden will also present a new "significant" help for Ukraine, which is already negotiating in the US administration during the meeting. This package may include important weapons that will help Ukraine withstand Russia's aggression in the conditions of winter exacerbation of the energy war.
The Victory Plan from Zelensky
Zelensky plans to present Biden his "Victory Plan", which aims to force Russia to end the war. As Sullivan emphasized, Zelensky emphasizes the need for a comprehensive strategy for success in the war, and it is he who is about to offer an American colleague. Biden, according to Sullivan, "wants this conversation", as it may depend on the future of American-Ukrainian cooperation in the military sphere.
The event is close to permission to blows on
According to The Guardian , the Western countries have already approached a positive decision on Western weapons in Russia. Although there was no official announcement, the United States and the United Kingdom, according to some sources, have already agreed. The implementation of such a decision will be part of a broader plan aimed at the end of the war, although the Allies are still cautious about public application.
At the same time, according to The Times , although the United States can allow Ukraine to use British Storm Shadow missiles to strikes in Russia, they continue to refrain from granting permission to apply their own ATACMS ballistic missiles for such operations. This decision can affect Ukraine's operational ability in the future struggle, but further negotiations can change this balance.
