Recently, the world media was shaken by the news that the US and Great Britain will allow Kyiv to use the weapons provided to strike targets located deep in the rear of the Russian Federation.

It was reported that the British authorities had already allegedly agreed on such a decision, and that it would be officially announced on Friday, September 13.

At the meeting of the leaders of the two countries, a decision on Kiev launching strikes on targets on Russian territory using Western weapons will not be made, MIA " Russia Today " reports with reference to the ITV television channel.

In turn, the source refers to the decision of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

However, he (Starmer - Ed.) made it clear that during his meeting at the White House with President Biden on Friday, Ukraine will not be given permission to use Western missiles to strike air and missile bases on Russian territory, the TV channel said in a statement.

The British Prime Minister announced the decision to journalists on the plane en route to Washington.

The decision to expand the UK's Storm Shadow missile capabilities is said to be "tactical".

But the meeting with Biden will discuss strategic issues. The final answer on Kiev's use of Storm Shadow will follow the meeting of politicians.
