Was about having the chance to not talk notjust about a particular Step Or Tactic but a strategy in relation to ukraine. Vladimir putin says lifting these restrictions would represent the nato alliances direct participation in the ukraine war. We heard the same argument from Russias Representative at the un. Translation if the decision to lift restrictions is really taken, from that moment, nato countries are conducting direct war with russia. In this case, we will have to take the relevant decisions with all the consequences for this that the western aggressors would face. Ukraine very much wants to be able to use these weapons. Our Security Correspondent Gordon Corera explains why. These are the western weapons at the heart of todays debate. They include american atacms and this, the british Storm Shadow system, which has a range of at least 250 kilometres. Storm shadow has already been used by ukraine against a russian base in occupied crimea last year, but up until now the countri
Team spoke here for about an hour and a half. The war in ukraine dominated the conversation.

Instead, he said well, theres only one reason were having these discussions, and that is because putin has illegally invaded ukraine. And the quickest way to resolve this obviously lies through, you know, what putin actually does, because its for him to end this. But we are having the discussion. Weve stood with ukraine. Ukraine has a right to self defence. And weve stood united, not just with our allies here in the us, but across with our nato allies. Thats very, very important to us. These are the long range Anglo French missiles. Ukraine would love to fire into russia, the uk making the argument to allies, its a request that should be granted. They rely on american Satellite Systems to work. You might ask why the Prime Minister has been so keen to dash here, to visit a president who we know will be gone in just a few months time.
