Last attempt: Ukraine will give the US a list of targets in Russia to defeat a long -range weapon -

According to Politico sources, Andriy Yermak and Rustem Umerov will go to Washington this week. Kiev has defined some important goals that it can attack with American missiles. Ukrainian officials are preparing to present a list of targets for strikes in Russia's high -ranking officials. This list is Ukraine's last attempt to persuade Washington to remove the restrictions on the use of US truckers. Politico writes about it.

Earlier, Ukraine has already provided potential goals in Russia, but this list is more specific. The Minister of Defense of Ukraine Rustem Umerov and the Head of the Presidential Office of Ukraine Andriy Ermak will arrive at Washington this week to discuss this list with the US administration. Three people familiar with the plans of Kyiv informed about it.

Within a few months, the United States claims that the removal of restrictions will not change the strategic situation in the war, as Russia has moved its important objects, including aviation, away from the border and outside the reach. However, according to sources, Ukraine has defined some important goals that it can attack with American missiles.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized that there should be no restrictions on the range of Ukrainian weapons, while Russia has no such restrictions. Representatives of the National Security and Pentagon have refused comments, Politico said. Ukrainian officials have long urged the Biden administration to remove restrictions on the use of US weapons to be able to strike in Russia and to push Russian forces from the border.

However, Baiden's administration is still concerned about the exacerbation of the conflict in the event of restrictions. During a briefing on Monday, August 26, a spokesman for the National Security Council John Kirby stated that there were no changes in US policy. "In general, this is not a new desire for President Zelensky. But, as I said many, many times, we will continue talking to the Ukrainians, but leave them private," he said.

Some Ukrainian deputies and officials believe that Biden administration may consider the possibility of removing restrictions in the coming days. The source in the Democratic Party also said Politico that the US is considering Kyiv. The White House did not formally declare a change in its policy. In addition, Kiev and Washington are negotiating on the personal meeting of Biden and Zelensky at the UN General Assembly in New York next month, the American official said.
