WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump’s envoy Keith Kellogg has floated the potential for long-range strikes by Ukraine in opposition to Russia with American weapons, following the administration’s latest pivot on the battle.
In a Fox Information interview broadcast on Sunday (Sep 28), Kellogg was requested whether or not Trump had authorised strikes deep into Russian territory – days after Moscow was accused of sending fighter jets and drones that violated the airspace of a number of European nations.
“Studying what (Trump) has mentioned and studying what Vice President (JD) Vance has mentioned, in addition to (Secretary of State Marco) Rubio, the reply is sure,” he mentioned.
“Use the power to hit deep. There aren’t any things like sanctuaries.”
Vice chairman Vance mentioned in a separate Fox Information programme on Sunday that the US was having “conversations” on whether or not to offer long-range Tomahawk cruise missiles to Kyiv, a request Trump has beforehand denied.
“It is one thing that the president goes to make the ultimate dedication on,” Vance mentioned, referring to the missiles, including that the US was “taking a look at quite a lot of requests from the Europeans.”
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov mentioned in a press briefing on Monday that there was “no panacea that may change the state of affairs on the entrance for the Kyiv regime”.
“There is no magic weapon. Whether or not it is Tomahawks or different missiles, they will not be capable of change the dynamic.”
