Front page of the Daily Telegraph with the headline "President wants to lift missile ban for Ukraine" — The Daily Telegraph says Joe Biden is “ready” to lift a ban that includes Ukraine's launch of long-range US and UK missiles at Russia. The newspaper says the US president is considering the policy change after revelations that Iran is equipping Russia with ballistic missiles that could reach Ukraine.
