British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and U.S. President Joe Biden discussed Ukraine's request for long-range Storm Shadow missiles, but no decision was reached. Biden dismissed threats from Russian President Vladimir Putin, who warned that allowing Ukraine to use these weapons would escalate the conflict and involve NATO directly. Although there were reports that the U.S. and UK might allow Ukraine to use the missiles, no official announcement was made. Both leaders emphasized ongoing support for Ukraine without committing to new pledges. Biden's sharp exchanges with reporters highlighted the tensions surrounding the issue. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky remains frustrated by restrictions on Western weaponry, considering long-range capabilities crucial for pressuring Russia into negotiations.
