Allies, including the United States, do not allow the use of the weapons provided to strike deep into Russia for fear of further escalation. 

“We discussed issues of long-range strikes and Euro-Atlantic integration. And here we also are cautiously optimistic,” Sybiha said. 

Sybiha also added that his talks in Brussels also concerned military aid for Ukraine. 

Quote from Sybiha: “We have a clear picture – a clear timeframe, clear volumes – of what will be delivered to Ukraine by the end of the year. This helps us strategically to plan our actions on the battlefield.” 

More details: Sybiha noted that the military aid would include weapons and funds for arms production agreements.
