Zelenskyy says no UK, US go-ahead to use long-range missiles

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has not yet gotten permission from the United States or Britain to use long-range missiles inside Russia.

"Neither America nor the United Kingdom permitted us to use these weapons on the territory of Russia, on any targets at any distance. We did not use long-range weapons on the territory of the Russian Federation," he said late on Friday, adding that he thought they feared an "escalation" of hostilities.
