The US secretary of state, Antony Blinken, gave his strongest hint yet that the White House is about to lift its restrictions on Ukraine using long-range weapons supplied by the west on key military targets inside Russia, with a decision understood to have already been made in private.
Speaking in Kyiv alongside the UK foreign secretary, David Lammy, Blinken said the US had “from day one” been willing to adapt its policy as the situation on the battlefield in Ukraine changed. “We will continue to do this,” he emphasised.
Blinken said he and Lammy would report back to their “bosses” – Joe Biden and Keir Starmer – after their talks on Wednesday with the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy.
Don’t hint!
Make the decision in secret. Communicate it in secret. Let them get the jump on the Russians.
Then announce it.
Oh hey yeah forgot to mention they can use the weapons to strike you now. What’s that? Oh you already lost some military bases? Sorry about that would have told ya sooner but I must have spaced it.
