Top Ukrainian Officials to Meet With US Gov’t to Seek Permission to Strike Russia, Reports Say
09:30 29.08.2024 (Updated: 11:26 29.08.2024) MOSCOW (Sputnik) - On Tuesday, Pentagon Press Secretary Pat Ryder said that the United States has no immediate plans to lift restrictions on strikes against Russian targets inside the country using US-donated weapons.
Andriy Yermak, the head of Ukraine's Volodymyr
Zelensky's office, and Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov will meet this week with representatives of the US President Joe Biden administration in an attempt to persuade the White House to lift restrictions on strikes deep into Russian territory using long-range US weapons, CNN reported on Thursday, citing a Ukrainian lawmaker.
Yermak and Umerov intend to provide Washington with a list of "priority targets," without which, according to Kiev's position, "it will be difficult to change the course of the war in Ukraine’s favor," the report said.
Umerov will meet with US Defense Secretary
Lloyd Austin on Friday, the report read, adding that it is unclear, however, with whom Yermak will hold talks.
"We consider strikes deep into Russian territory with American weapons no more provocative than strikes with American weapons on Russian territory near the border. Both are Russian territory, and it makes no difference how deep the targets are," the lawmaker was quoted as saying by the broadcaster.
Since the beginning of Russia's special military operation in Ukraine in February 2022, Western nations have been supplying Kiev with military equipment and offering training to Ukrainian soldiers. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has stated that
NATO member countries are directly participating in the Ukrainian conflict.
Moscow has consistently cautioned that NATO countries are "playing with fire" by delivering arms, which the Kremlin asserts is only contributing to the prolongation of the conflict in Ukraine.
