Close Biden says ‘I don’t think much about Vladimir Putin’ as PM arrives for talks
The president of Ukraine yesterday furiously demanded permission to fire British missiles into Russian territory.
The prime minister, Keir Starmer, is meeting with the US president, Joe Biden, on Friday at the White House, where the two are expected to discuss – though not necessarily announce – a loosening of restrictions on Storm Shadow missiles that would allow Ukraine to strike targets as far as 155 miles inside Russia.
Kyiv in turn requested the two nations lift restrictions on using Western weapons to strike targets in Russia.
