US President Joe Biden has pledged to provide Ukraine with five new strategic air defence systems to counter relentless Russian attacks, in a forceful speech welcoming Nato leaders to Washington DC.
In brief but strongly delivered remarks at the opening of the summit, the president declared the military alliance "more powerful than ever" as it faced a "pivotal moment" in the war between Russia and Ukraine.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday that Russia would respond if Britain allowed Ukraine to strike Russia with British weapons.
ReplyDeleteBloomberg reported that newly elected British Prime Minister Keir Starmer had signaled that Ukraine can use British Storm Shadow missiles to strike military targets inside Russia.
