US Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced at a joint press conference with British Foreign Secretary David Lammy in London that President Joe Biden intends to discuss with the British Prime Minister the possibility of allowing Ukraine to strike deeper into Russian territory with long-range weapons.

The discussion is scheduled to take place on Friday.

According to Blinken, this move reflects ongoing consultations between the US and its allies about the most effective ways to support Ukraine amidst its war with Russia.

In related developments, Blinken also revealed that the US would be imposing new sanctions in response to reports of Iran supplying Russia with ballistic missiles.
