As is so often the case, where the United States leads, Europe follows. Keir Starmer and Emmanuel Macron are expected to join Joe Biden in allowing Ukraine to fire Western-supplied long-range missiles into Russia.
The US already permits Ukraine to use American High Mobility Artillery Rocket System to strike inside Russia. But it has consistently refused to allow Zelensky to use longer-range missiles called Army Tactical Missile System, which have a range of up 190 miles, citing concerns that this would raise tensions with Putin. Kyiv has pleaded for months to use these systems, which include British Storm Shadow missiles.
