Blinken till Bryssel för Ukraina-samtal

Putins varning – då blir det krig med Nato

Putins varning – då blir det krig med Nato

Både USA och Storbritannien har diskuterat huruvida Ukraina ska få lov att använda vapen som länderna donerat långt inne i Ryssland. Ukrainas utrikesminister, Andrij Sybiha, träffade USA:s och Storbritanniens utrikesministrar, Antony Blinken och David Lammy, under onsdagen. Då påtalade han på en presskonferens behovet av att lyfta restriktionerna. – Det är viktigt att lyfta alla restriktioner för användning av amerikanska och brittiska vapen mot legitima mål i Ryssland, sade Sybiha Från amerikanskt håll lovade man att arbeta vidare med frågan. President Joe Biden och premiärminister Keir Starmer kommer även att mötas i Washington under fredagen. Putin: ”Skulle förändra själva konfliktens natur” Med anledning av att restriktionerna på långdistansvapen kan komma att hävas uttalade sig Rysslands president Vladimir Putin under torsdagen. – Det skulle förändra själva konfliktens natur på ett betydande sätt, sade Putin till statskontrollerad rysk media. Den tidigare överstelöjtnanten Jörgen Elfving menar att liknande hot har kommit från Ryssland tidigare – Jag ser hans uttalande som ytterligare ett led i den ryska teorin. Man har hela tiden sett det västliga stödet till Ukraina som att väst för ett krig via ombud, det vill säga Ukraina, säger Elfving. Han ser uttalandet som en del i att försöka få väst att vara återhållsamma i vad man låter Ukraina göra med västligt krigsmateriel. Men också för att påverka opinionen för framtida stöd till Ukraina. – Gällande de röda linjerna har väst passerat dem tidigare, det har aldrig resulterat i någon åtgärd, säger Elfving. Sannolika målet: Flygbaser i Ryssland Om restriktionerna på långdistansvapnen skulle hävas och Ukraina får lov att skjuta mot mål längre in i Ryssland, hade det kunnat påverka Ryssland förmåga att till exempel använda sig av kryssningsrobotar mot Ukraina. – Sannolikt är det väl så att målen lär vara ryska flygbaser. Det bidrar till att dels få bort vapenbärare som kan bära vapen som kan slå mot ukrainska mål på djupet, säger Elfving och tillägger: – Det kan även eliminera den ryska överlägsenheten i luften. Samtidigt kan de komma att användas mot mål som oljeraffinaderier och rysk försvarsindustri, mål som Ukraina tidigare slagit mot med drönare.

Medieuppgifter: Ukraina kommer få skjuta längre in i Ryssland

Medieuppgifter: Ukraina kommer få skjuta längre in i Ryssland

I Vita huset i USA pågår diskussioner för fullt om vilka förbehåll som ska gälla för de vapen som har skänkts till Ukraina, uppger flera regeringskällor för Politico. Enligt brittiska The Guardians uppgifter har ett beslut redan fattats i London om att den ukrainska militären ska få skjuta ballistiska Storm Shadow-robotar mot Ryssland. Diskussioner uppges ha pågått mellan USA, Storbritannien och Ukraina under de senaste veckorna. De två västländernas utrikesministrar besökte Kiev tillsammans på onsdagen och då vädjade Ukraina på nytt om ett större handlingsutrymme. Vi arbetar skyndsamt för att fortsätta säkerställa att Ukraina har vad som krävs för att effektivt kunna försvara sig, svarade USA:s minister Antony Blinken, då han tillsammans med sin brittiske kollega David Lammy aviserade nya stödpaket till Ukraina. Pekar på iranskt stöd Under det storskaliga invasionskrigets gång har Ukrainas allierade i små steg ruckat på de reservationer som uttalats för hur levererade vapen får användas. Bland annat har man tidigare öppnat för att Ukraina ska få skjuta mot mål på andra sidan gränsen i defensivt syfte, till exempel från den ansatta Charkiv-regionen i nordost som har blivit hårt beskjuten från platser bara några mil bort. Tidigare i veckan lyfte USA fram uppgifter om att Iran har fortsatt att leverera vapen till Ryssland, nu i form av ballistiska robotar, vilket Antony Blinken beskriver som en "dramatisk upptrappning". Ukraina vill framför allt kunna använda så kallade Atacms-robotar, som har en räckvidd på upp omkring 30 mil, i större utsträckning. Sådana har tidigare skjutits mot bland annat Krimhalvön. USA:s president Joe Biden tar emot Storbritanniens premiärminister Keir Starmer i Washington på fredag. Lovar rysk respons Rysslands president Vladimir Putin har återkommande talat om "röda linjer" för angrepp mot Ryssland. Hans talesperson Dmitrij Peskov meddelar att landet kommer att svara på eventuella lättnader av vapenrestriktioner på "lämpligt" vis. Vjatjeslav Volodin, regimlojal talman i den ryska statsduman, utropar via sociala medier att västländerna "blir parter i kriget" och att Ryssland blir tvingat att ta till än mer kraftfulla vapen.

Avgörande om långdistansvapen till Ukraina närmar sig

Avgörande om långdistansvapen till Ukraina närmar sig

Det närmar sig ett avgörande i frågan om USA ska tillåta Ukraina att använda långdistansvapen mot mål i Ryssland. USA:s utrikesminister Antony Blinken och Storbritanniens dito David Lammy är under onsdagen på besök i Kiev och Biden har flaggat för att ”frågan håller på att behandlas just nu”. Rysslands svar kom under dagen: mer vapenskrammel, hot om att väst kommer att ses som parter i kriget, och om att man kommer att slå mot amerikanska leveranser av robotar.
