During his visit to Warsaw, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken discussed Ukraine's request to lift restrictions on the use of Western long-range missiles to counter Russian attacks. Poland's leadership, emphasizing their support for Ukraine, called for the authorization of such strikes. Blinken highlighted Poland's defense spending as exemplary within NATO and echoed concerns over Russia's destabilizing actions, which include cyberattacks and hybrid tactics against Poland. The U.S. and UK recently pledged nearly $1.5 billion in additional aid to Ukraine, focusing on energy grid reinforcement and humanitarian support. As discussions continue, both U.S. President Biden and UK Prime Minister Starmer are expected to consider these requests in upcoming meetings. The situation reflects a shift in Western policy toward potentially deeper military involvement in Ukraine's defense against Russia.
