David Lammy: Ukraine missile request under discussion

David Lammy: Ukraine missile request under discussion The UK is discussing whether to allow Ukraine to fire long-range missiles into Russia. However, Foreign Secretary David Lammy emphasizes that no single weapon can win a war. Ukraine currently has long-range missiles but can only use them within its borders. President Zelensky has been requesting permission to use them against targets in Russia. The US and UK have hinted at a possible change in policy, but no confirmation has been made. Lammy maintains that the issue is under careful consideration. Lammy stresses the importance of a shared strategy among Ukraine’s supporters. A meeting at the UN General Assembly is expected to address this subject. General Sir John McColl believes Ukraine will eventually be allowed to use long-range missiles against Russia. He urges allies to avoid hesitation. However, McColl acknowledges that the missiles will have a limited impact on the overall war. Former defense secretaries have also called for lifting restrictions. Lammy and allies will meet with Zelensky at the UN to discuss Ukraine’s needs during winter. The issue of missiles is likely to be on the agenda.
