America may lift missile ban on Ukraine: Putin said – This is NATO's declaration of war against Russia, we will respond to it

Ukraine may get permission to use long-range attack missiles in Russia. According to CNN, America and Britain are considering this. Until now it was banned, but this ban on Ukraine may be lifted now. According to the report, Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that allowing the use of such weapons would mean that NATO has gone to war against Russia. He said that if this happens he will definitely answer it. Putin said – If America gives permission, a lot will change. Putin said on a government TV channel that this will change a lot. Use of these weapons is not possible without satellites. Ukraine does not have such technology. This can only be done with the help of European Union satellites or American satellites. Putin further said that only NATO military personnel are trained to use this missile system. Ukrainian soldiers cannot do this. So the question is not whether or not to allow the Ukrainians to attack Russia with these weapons. It is up to them to decide whether NATO is involved or not. Discussion on lifting the ban at the White House today, Blinken hinted that a meeting between British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and President Joe Biden is going to be held at the White House on Friday, according to reports. Meanwhile, there is a debate over whether Ukraine should be allowed to use long-range missiles against Russia. Earlier on Thursday, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said that the US is going to lift the sanctions imposed on Ukraine for using long-range weapons on military bases inside Russia. “We have evidence that Russia is acquiring ballistic missiles from Iran,” Blinken said. This means that Russia's attack will intensify. To respond, Ukraine will have to use long-range missiles. He said that he will talk to British PM Keir Starmer and President Biden for this. Ukraine has been seeking permission from the US for a long time According to the report, Ukraine has been seeking permission from the US and Britain for a long time to use long-range attack weapons. Ukraine has been given long-range missiles, but it can use them against enemies within its borders. Ukraine invaded Russia last month. In such a situation, Zelensky wants these restrictions lifted so that he can use long-range weapons inside Russia. According to the report, the US first delivered Long Range Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) missiles to Ukraine in October 2023. It can accurately hit targets up to about 300 km. In a recent interview with CNN, Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustam Umarov said that these missiles are among the targets that Russia uses to attack Ukrainian cities. Before this, France also gave long-range Storm Shadow missile to Ukraine. It could hit targets up to 250 kilometers away, but it also had the condition that it should be used within its limits.
