Allies, including the United States, do not allow the use of the weapons provided to strike deep into Russia for fear of further escalation. 

"We discussed issues of long-range strikes and Euro-Atlantic integration. And here we also are cautiously optimistic," Sybiha said. 

Sybiha also added that his talks in Brussels also concerned military aid for Ukraine.
