The foreign secretary has said the UK and allies will not be “bullied by Putin’s shameless grandstanding” as the prime minister faces pressure to allow Ukraine to fire British long-range missiles into Russia.<\/p>\n

David Lammy told Sky News’ Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips the Russian president’s threats to use nuclear weapons if the West sends more weapons to Kyiv are “totally unacceptable”.<\/p>\n

The government is facing increasing pressure from Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy to allow troops to fire long-range missiles into Russia, however no decision was made following talks between Sir Keir Starmer and Joe Biden in Washington this week.<\/p>\n

Mr Lammy said he could not discuss the details of why a decision has not been made but added: “There’s a debate about further missiles.<\/p>\n

“And we are discussing that as allies, as you would expect us to.<\/p>\n

“I am not going to discuss the operational detail of that…because I’m not going to assist Putin as we head into the winter.”<\/p>\n

He added: “Putin threatens every few months to use nuclear weapons, it’s totally unacceptable.<\/p>\n

“We won’t be bullied by Putin’s shameless grandstanding.<\/p>\n

“What he should now do is cease his aggression and leave Ukraine.”<\/p>\n

He added Sir Keir has pledged \u00a33 billion in aid to Ukraine and provided more missiles when asked, and will continue to support Ukraine.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
