Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has held talks with Volodymyr Zelensky in Downing Street, as the Ukrainian president seeks to shore up European support for his country's war effort. Mark Rutte, the new head of the Nato military alliance, also attended to take part in the talks with Zelensky. Rutte told BBC News after the meeting that "it's crucial for Ukraine to prevail," adding the situation "is not only a problem for the Ukraine, but also a threat to all of us." Rutte, when asked whether he would support such use, said that legally, Ukraine is allowed to use its weapons if they can hit targets in Russia that present a threat to Ukraine, but the decision was not up to him. "That is up to the individual allies to decide how weapons they deliver into Ukraine can be used," he said.

Denys Davydov, one of YouTube's most recognizable Ukraine experts, sat down with Kyiv Post's Jason Smart to discuss what is transpiring now in the Kursk and Pokrovsk directions while giving intriguing insight as to why Russia has failed to make significant gains. Overall, despite pretending that things are going great, Russia's military leaders know that things are not going according to plan.
What will happen next?
Davydov, a native of Ukraine, argues that Ukraine's efforts to destabilize Russia, including via drone strikes and the invasion of Kursk, could play a significant role in changing the outcome of the war. Already, now that the war has arrived on Russians' doorstep, there are numerous signs that the Russian population's support for the war is lagging. As the population becomes cold to waging war, it will be increasingly likely that big things - yet unseen - could shake-up the war's outcome in ways that the Kremlin would never expect.
Denys Davydov assures Jason Jay Smart that one thing, however, is certain: Russia is struggling to cope with the surprises that Ukraine keeps presenting.

Ukraine’s push to ease restrictions on the use of weapons from the United States and Britain will be discussed Friday in White House talks between President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Keir Starmer. The go-ahead to use long-range missiles against targets deep inside Russia is seen as "strategically and symbolically" vital for the war effort for many Ukrainians, says France 24's reporter in Kyiv Francis Farrell.
FRANCE24's Sharon Gaffney speaks to Melinda Haring, senior advisor at Razom for Ukraine, and senior fellow at the Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Centre. She says that if the UK and US agree to green light Ukraine strikes on Russian territory, that authorisation will likely include the use of ATACMS, which will heavily hamper Russian troops and and air defence systems logistics.
The United States and Britain pledged nearly $1.5 billion in additional aid to Ukraine on Wednesday during a visit to Kyiv by their top diplomats as Ukrainian officials renewed their pleas to use Western-provided missiles against targets deeper inside Russia.
"Just the fact of the possibility that these weapons would be used will probably result in the Russians moving many of their weapons even further back from the frontline."
This would render Russian weapons less effective in their targeting ability against Ukraine, says former US Colonel Cedric Leighton.
The United Nations says Ukrainian soldiers released from captivity in Russia say they were mistreated and in most cases tortured. The head of the U-N Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine Danielle Bell says prisoners of war report being subjected to 'unimaginable cruelty.' DW's Sonia Phalnikar spoke to one Ukrainian soldier trying to recover, after being interned in Russia for two years.
CNN has obtained exclusive video that appears to show Ukrainian troops trying to surrender to Russian forces, only to be gunned down in cold blood. CNN's Nick Paton Walsh reports.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is taking part in the meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group of allies supporting Kyiv with weapons at the Ramstein Air Base. Ahead of the gathering, the UK announced it would send Ukraine a package of 650 air defense missiles. Later on Friday, Zelenskyy is scheduled to meet with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in Frankfurt.
Ukrainian MP Halyna Yanchenko says Ukraine is not the first victim of “Russian aggression”.
This comes after Russia launched one of its largest air attacks on Ukraine since the war began, hitting a hospital and a military academy.
“Russia is an aggressive country,” Ms Yanchenko told Sky News host Chris Kenny.
“Ukraine is not the first country which became a victim of Russian aggression.
“Before that it was Georgia, it was Chechnya, it was Moldova.”
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Monday Ukraine's Western allies should not only allow their weapons to be used for strikes deep inside Russia, but also supply Kyiv with more of the arms themselves.
Ukraine has long urged partners to allow it to fire Western weapons at targets far into enemy territory, and those calls have grown louder as Russian airstrikes on Ukrainian energy installations, other infrastructure and residential buildings intensify.
