NATO leaders and several Western nations, including Canada, have expressed support for Ukraine's right to use long-range weapons to defend itself against Russia. Ukrainian officials have called for permission to strike deeper into Russian territory to stop attacks on their civilian infrastructure. U.S. President Joe Biden and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer recently met to discuss potentially lifting restrictions on long-range weapons supplied to Ukraine, though no decision has been made. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau affirmed Canada's full support for Ukraine’s use of such weaponry, despite Russian President Vladimir Putin’s warnings that it could escalate the conflict. As NATO debates the extent of military aid, Ukraine continues to face persistent drone and artillery attacks from Russia.
