Russia will continue military operations if Western countries let the Armed Forces of Ukraine to strike deep into the country, Kremlin's official spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, TASS reports.
"This once again demonstrates that European leaders (…) continue to seek the strategic defeat of the Russian Federation. We, in turn, continue the special military operation until all set goals are achieved," the Kremlin representative said.
Sending any new types of weapons to Ukraine will not let Kyiv take an advantage of the situation on the front, Peskov added.
According to The Telegraph, French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer may try to lift the ban for the Armed Forces of Ukraine to use Storm Shadow missiles for strikes deep into Russia. They intend to convince US President Joe Biden of this before the end of his presidential term.
Keir Starmer and Emmanuel Macron are expected to prepare a final attempt to thwart Donald Trump’s plans to reduce American support for Ukraine, the Telegraph said.
