“Thank you for the decisive steps that Great Britain has taken since the beginning of the full-scale invasion. Thank you for being with us all this time,” said Zelensky.
According to the OP, the meeting also paid attention to the implementation of the bilateral security agreement, the implementation of the peace formula, preparations for the second peace summit, cooperation within Ukraine – NATO, and progress in the negotiations on the signing of the agreement on the transition to a stronger and deeper partnership.
Earlier, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, commenting on The Guardian’s questions about the use of Storm Shadow missiles for strikes on Russian territory, said that a possible decision would be preceded by a discussion of “a number of issues.”
“We will discuss a number of issues, and we will listen carefully to what President Zelensky has to say, and that is exactly what will happen in the next few days,” Starmer replied.
He added that the discussions will not be about “a single issue, such as long-range missiles,” but “a strategic, comprehensive direction for Ukraine to find a way through this and succeed in the fight against Russian aggression.”
Kyiv is trying to get permission to use British-French Storm Shadow missiles on Russian territory with the support of Great Britain, but negotiations with the US are still ongoing, as the weapons use some American technology.
On September 17, The Times wrote that Great Britain “will not act alone” in the matter of granting Ukraine permission to strike targets in Russia with long-range weapons.
The British government believes that American guidance systems are crucial to hitting targets with long-range missiles. London believes the U.S. is likely to authorize the strikes at the UN General Assembly session, which opens on September 10, although President Joe Biden’s administration is divided on this.
During his week-long visit to the USA, the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyi, intensively holds meetings and speeches with appeals to Washington to continue decisive support for Ukraine.
