The discussion will focus on continuing military support for Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression, but John Healey refused to comment on the possibility of granting the US permission to use long-range missiles to strike the terrorist country. The British minister emphasized that public statements on this topic could create additional risks to the security of military operations.
Healey noted that the UK intends to continue to support Ukraine in its fight against the aggressor by providing the necessary military assistance for as long as it is needed. At the same time, he noted that the issue of providing weapons should be carefully considered, taking into account all possible consequences.
This statement came against the backdrop of recent comments by other British politicians, including Labor Party leader Keir Starmer, who refused to comment on the possibility of using British Storm Shadow missiles to attack Russian territory at the G20 summit in Brazil. Starmer emphasized that public statements about such operations would only weaken the position of Western allies and could be used by Russia to its advantage.
