Today the leaders of Ukraine's two most important allies are meeting in Washington,

President Biden, and British Prime Minister Kir Starmer have many topics on their agenda

but there is particular attention on coordinating support for Ukraine and allowing Kieve to use American

and British long-range missiles to hit targets deep inside Russia.

Jeff, Ukraine and its partners have a strategic goal to try and convince Russian

President of Vladimir Putin that Ukraine

and its soldiers can outlast Putin can outlast Russia and with the help of

Western weapons inflict massive casualties on Russia's military on the battlefield.

to fire deep into Russia.

So what did they say about those long-range weapons?

Absolutely nothing publicly.
