Confirmedon an admission by the acting party plus an independent origin: 1 distinct origin, 1 tied to no party.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy made a joint visit to Kyiv, where Ukraine renewed its request to use Western long-range missiles against targets deep inside Russia. Lammy linked Western thinking on the question to Iranian ballistic missile deliveries to Russia, which he called a significant and dangerous escalation. Prime Minister Keir Starmer was due to discuss the issue with President Biden in Washington on 13 September. The next day President Putin warned that such permission would mean NATO was at war with Russia.
