If ratified, it would fulfill Ukraine’s ongoing demands to remove limitations on US-supplied weapons, which officials assert have rendered them powerless to halt Russia’s full-scale invasion.
Although President Vladimir Putin of Russia has not yet spoken, he has previously stated that such action may result in “very serious problems.”.
As US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and UK counterpart David Lammy get ready to visit Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv, Biden makes his speech.
To “hear directly from the Ukrainian leadership” about their “objectives and what we can do to support those,” according to Blinken, was one of their pre-visit objectives.
Following their discussions in London, Blinken and Lammy are traveling together to the capital of Ukraine.
Blinken claimed during his visit to the UK that Russia was receiving short-range ballistic missiles from Iran, which could be used against Ukrainians in a matter of weeks. Iran’s action was characterized by Lammy as “a significant and dangerous escalation.”
The missiles will most likely add to Russia’s arsenal, enabling it to fire longer-range missiles deeper into Ukrainian territory while also hitting Ukrainian cities that are either on its borders or in areas it currently controls.
Iran has consistently denied giving Russia these kinds of self-guiding weaponry.
