Ukraine is intensifying its request for permission from Western allies to use long-range missiles for strikes deep into Russian territory, coinciding with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and U.K. Foreign Secretary David Lammy's upcoming visit to Kyiv. Discussions will focus on military aid, including potential use of U.S.-supplied ATACMS missiles. Congressman Michael McCaul indicated that positive outcomes regarding these requests are expected following Blinken's visit, although a final decision rests with President Biden. Meanwhile, Western support for Ukraine appears to be waning as new aid commitments have decreased compared to previous years, with the U.S. Senate struggling to approve additional funds. Despite this, the U.S. has remained a significant donor, although when aid is measured against GDP, countries like Estonia and Denmark have shown higher contributions. The Biden administration continues to weigh the implications of allowing Ukraine to strike deep into Russian territory while ensuring that such actions align with broader strategic goals.
