David Lammy and Anthony Blinken are expected to discuss use of the missile in Kiev after Iran was said to have supplied Russia with ballistic missiles
Ukrainian emergency service workers extinguish a fire in a factory after a Russian shelling in Konstantinivka, Ukraine The US and UK will discuss giving Ukraine the green light to use British long-range artillery on Russian soil, inwill travel with US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken to Kyiv this week to hold talks with Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy where they will discuss the issue amid Western allies’ belief that the conflict is entering a “critical moment”.
Zelensky has repeatedly pushed for permission to use Western missiles to strike at targets within Vladimir Putin’s Russia. It is unclear whether a final decision will be made on the use of Storm Shadows at the White House meeting on Friday, but it comes as both the US and UK emphasised the escalation of hostilities by the Iranian regime in supplying Russia with arms.
Up to now, the White House has been reluctant to allow the use of the missiles for fear of further escalating the conflict in Eastern Europe.But Blinken said US intelligence, shared with its international allies, showed that Iran was increasingly acting to destabilise regions outside the Middle East.
“This development and the growing cooperation between Russia and Iran threatens European security and demonstrates how Iran’s destabilising influence reaches far beyond the Middle East.” The UK and Washington announced coordinated sanctions against Iranian and Russian individuals and organisations. The UK has also sanctioned five Russian cargo ships.
