Keir Starmer farà pressione su Joe Biden affinché abbandoni il divieto sui missili Storm Shadow durante una riunione dell’Assemblea generale delle Nazioni Unite oggi

***The Telegraph reports:***

[Sir Keir Starmer](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/keir-starmer/) is set to press Joe Biden to approve Ukrainian [use of Storm Shadow missiles on Russian soil](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/09/16/we-must-give-ukraine-the-tools-to-strike-back-and-fast/) at a New York summit.

The Prime Minister has suggested he will press the [US president to drop his veto](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/politics/2024/09/24/joe-biden-heralded-his-foreign-policy-legacy-ukraine-israel/) when the pair meet at the UN General Assembly.

But he insisted that long-range strikes were not the only key to a [Ukrainian victory](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/russia-ukraine-war/) as the White House resists pressure to change policy.

# ‘We will have discussions’

Sir Keir was speaking aboard the government plane en route to the UN General Assembly, where help for Ukraine was set to dominate discussions.

Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president, is expected to use the occasion to lay out Kyiv’s “[plan for victory](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/09/23/what-zelensky-really-wants-from-his-plan-for-victory/)” to key Western allies.

Sir Keir was asked whether he would authorise the use of Storm Shadow, which at present can only be deployed within Ukraine, on Russian soil.

He said: “We will have discussions about a whole range of issues, and we will listen carefully to what President Zelensky’s got to say.

“I don’t think [the] victory plan will be about a sole issue like long-range missiles, it will be about a strategic, overarching route for Ukraine to find a way through this and succeed against Russian aggression.”

Pathetic that the UK needs to ask permission to the US for it’s own sovereign policies.

Anyone wants to bet that nothing’ll be achieved?
