David Lammy says West ‘listening carefully’ to Ukraine over long range missile needs

Foreign Secretary David Lammy and his US counterpart Antony Blinken are on a joint visit to the Ukrainian capital to show support for Kyiv.
Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky has repeatedly pushed for permission to use Western missiles to strike at targets within Vladimir Putin’s Russia, and US President Joe Biden and Sir Keir Starmer are set to discuss the issue in Washington on Friday.
Speaking to reporters in the Ukrainian capital, Mr Lammy said he and his US counterpart Mr Blinken were to “listen to Ukraine, to speak to President Zelensky, to hear and understand the strategy”.

I don’t suppose it’s occurred to the U.K. government to ask its inhabitants their opinion on this escalation. After all it’s quite a serious situation that may lead to unimaginable consequences.
I vote stay out of it.
