Them Russia’s response to the US green light for Kiev to attack with long-range missiles deep into the Moscow region “will be terrible”. This was the warning by the Russian Deputy Foreign Minister, Sergei Ryabkov that specifies how, according to Russia, the decision has already been made.
Vladimir Putin, then he bowed, “has already said everything about this. We will respond unconditionally. There is an element of special danger because our opponents in Washington, London and elsewhere are realizing the degree of danger of the game they continue to play work. “Do”.
New threat to Ukraine that meanwhile also arrived from Dmitry MedvedevFormer Russian president and number two on the National Security Council in Moscow. Commenting on the possibility of using long-range missiles in the West, Medvedev said that Moscow had the right reasons to resort to the use of nuclear weapons after the invasion of Ukraine into the Kursk region, but could instead use some technologies his new battle to reduce Kiev to “a gigantic melted place”.
Russia – he added – can destroy the capital of Ukraine only with non-nuclear weapons. Until now he had ‘chosen’ not to do so, he wanted to point out, later succumbing to the fact that “patience has its limits”.
“Unlimited” support for Kiev from the US and the United Kingdom
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer Meanwhile, he announced that the United Kingdom and the United States have reached a “strong position” in finding a solution to the conflict in Ukraine after his meeting with the president. Joe Biden. With one fixed point: Kiev’s irrevocable support against Russia, until Vladimir Putin’s defeat in the war.
Starmer described his talks with Biden as “long and productive”, but declined to say what decisions the two had made about Ukraine’s potential use of Western weapons against Russian targets.
At the start of their meeting in the Blue Room of the White House in Washington DC, Biden said “I don’t think much about Vladimir Putin” when asked about the Russian president’s threats to NATO. Asked what they had decided in relation to Ukraine’s potential use of long-range weapons, Starmer said: “We’ve had a broad discussion about strategy in Ukraine, of course, in the Middle East and other parts of the world.”
The two leaders will have said little about the most important question looming over their meeting: whether America’s allies like Britain can allow Ukraine to use their weapons to attack military targets deep inside Russia. Putin this week warned against such a move.
At the start of the meeting, Starmer said that the coming weeks and months will be “important” for Ukraine and that it is “important” that the two countries continue to support the Eastern European country in the conflict. to Russia. The meeting came as Zelensky expressed frustration over continued restrictions on the use of Western weapons against Russian targets.

Iran has been hit with sanctions from the UK and the US after the two countries accused Tehran of supplying ballistic missiles to Russia. Lammy and Blinken announced further financial support for Ukraine, including a package of £600 million ($788 million) from the UK and $717 million from the US to meet humanitarian needs, immediate energy and stabilization.
The UK package includes Rishi Sunak’s resignation of £242m, plus $484m in World Bank loan guarantees at the end of the year, while the US package includes £325m dollars to support Ukraine’s energy needs.
