Ukraine asks Washington and London to allow Western weapons to hit military facilities in Russia's rear. However, the White House reported that the position of the Biden Administration has not changed.
The Guardian reports that the leaders of the United States and Great Britain will discuss long-range issues at the 79th UN General Assembly.
