Ukraine discussed the situation on the front lines with the US, as well as the issue of long-range capabilities, stated US Secretary of State Antony Blinken during his visit to Kyiv.
"Among the other things we discussed long-range fires...I am going to take this discussion back to Washington to brief the President," Blinken said.
He noted that Ukraine's needs are changing, as the battlefield itself is changing.
“Speaking for the United States, we have adjusted and adapted as needs have changed, as the battlefield has changed. And I have no doubt that we’ll continue to do that as this evolves. Escalation is one of the factors we always consider but it's certainly not the only factor," Blinken said.
According to the US Secretary of State, the issue of long-range missiles will be discussed at a meeting between the US and British leaders on Friday.
Earlier, it was reported that during his visit to Kyiv, Blinken may announce the authorization to launch ATACMS against Russia.
Meanwhile, today, US President Joe Biden said that the United States is currently working on a possible lifting of the restriction on Ukraine's long-range strikes on Russian territory with US weapons.
