Ukraine’s push to ease restrictions on the use of weapons from the United States and Britain will be discussed Friday in White House talks between President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

Ukraine and many of its supporters in the U.S. and Europe want Biden to let Kyiv use the weapons to strike military targets deeper inside Russia, and there are signs Biden might shift U.S. policy. Russian President Vladimir Putin has threatened that Ukraine’s use of long-range weapons would put NATO at war with Moscow.

Two U.S. officials familiar with discussions about the weapons said they believe Starmer will seek Biden’s approval to allow Ukraine to use British Storm Shadow missiles for expanded strikes in Russia. Biden’s approval is needed because Storm Shadow components are made in the U.S. The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to share the status of private conversations, said they believed Biden would be amenable.

No announcement on a decision was expected Friday, several U.S. officials said.

During this week’s visit to Kyiv by Secretary of State Antony Blinken and British Foreign Secretary David Lammy, Ukrainian officials renewed their pleas to use Western-provided long-range missiles against targets deeper inside Russia.

Does the Brit speak gibberish? Or maybe he’ll be secretly meeting with The Big Guy’s puppet masters. Who knows...after that meeting the Brit just might tell the world who the puppet masters are!

Biden and the Germans continue to hamstring Ukraine’s ability to defend itself. Pretty disgusting. In addition to Storm Shadow, the Germans need to hand over Taurus missiles yesterday.

I'm pretty much pro-Ukraine. But at the same time, we have to draw the line somewhere. Putin can retaliate if he's desperate enough and we are responsible for what's happening.

Is Ukraine providing the little girl to sniff, or will Starmer bring a Muslim Knifeman?

Does anybody think that the Machine wouldn’t get us into a hot war with Russia to turn around an election that they appear bound to lose?

This is for all the marbles. And freedom and democracy for Ukraine has nothing to do with it.

You're confused again - the Muslim knifemen are all Jihadi Chechens fighting for Putin.

Russians said the same thing if Trump armed Ukraine with anti-tank missiles. He did, nothing happened.
Russians said same thing if the west gave Ukraine tanks.
Russians said the same thing if Ukraine got F16s.
Russians said the same thing if Ukrainian troops touched Russian soil.

ETC, ETC
