Keir Starmer, the UK opposition leader, has not ruled out allowing Ukraine to use UK-made Storm Shadow missiles for strikes inside Russia. This comes after President Biden authorized the use of US long-range weapons for similar actions. UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has avoided discussing operational details, stating that only Russia would benefit from such discussions. The UK defense secretary is in talks with US and Ukrainian officials amid rising diplomatic activity. The Kremlin has condemned the US decision, calling it a "new turn of escalation" in the conflict. Russian officials warned that they would respond appropriately to any increased military actions by Ukraine.
