With no decision to "unleash" Ukraine, Biden said he "doesn't think much about the Russian president."

The White House has not made any announcement regarding authorizing Ukraine to attack deep inside Russian territory with Western-supplied weapons following the meeting between US President Joe Biden and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on September 13.

According to TASS news agency, citing minutes of the talks released by the White House, the two leaders discussed the situation in Ukraine and expressed concern over allegations that Iran and North Korea supply weapons to Moscow and that China "supports Russia's defense industrial base," despite these countries' denials.

Regarding the Middle East, both sides reiterated their commitment to supporting Israel and the need for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip as soon as possible, while condemning Houthi attacks on commercial vessels in the Red Sea.

President Biden and Prime Minister Starmer also discussed cooperation between the US and the UK within the framework of the trilateral military partnership with Australia (AUKUS), as well as cooperation in the areas of economics, clean energy, and advanced technology.

Meanwhile, according to AFP , during a meeting at the White House, Prime Minister Starmer intended to pressure President Biden to support his plan to transfer British-made Storm Shadow long-range missiles to Ukraine to strike deeper into Russian territory.

The head of the British government stated: "I think the next few weeks and months could be very, very important, that we stand with Ukraine in this fight for freedom and survival."

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that Ukraine could not attack deep inside Russian territory without Western help because they needed satellite reconnaissance data to carry out such actions.

According to the Kremlin leader, NATO member states are now not only debating the possibility of Kyiv using Western-supplied long-range weapons, but are essentially deciding whether or not to directly intervene in the Ukrainian conflict.

The leader warned that if a decision is made to "unleash" Ukraine's ability to launch long-range attacks against Russia, the US, NATO, and their allies would be in a state of conflict with Moscow.

However, US President Joe Biden downplayed the threats of war from Moscow. President Biden asserted: "I don't think much about Vladimir Putin."
