US and UK foreign ministers in Ukraine amid calls to allow strikes deep into Russia | BBC News


US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy have arrived in Kyiv on a joint visit as Ukraine continues to press for the right to use US and British long-range missiles against Russia.

The two men travelled together to the Ukrainian capital after talks in London. They are due to meet President Volodymr Zelensky, who has repeatedly called on Washington to loosen the limits on US-supplied weapons.

The policy will come under further scrutiny when UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer meets President Biden at the White House on Friday.

Ukrainian officials have said the restrictions have left them fighting against Russia’s full-scale invasion with their hands tied.

The Kremlin said on Wednesday that Russia would respond "appropriately" if the US were to allow Ukrainian missile strikes on its territory.
