UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has not confirmed whether Britain will allow Ukraine to use long-range Storm Shadow missiles against Russia. He stated that the decision rests with Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the conflict. Starmer emphasized that the quickest resolution to the war is for Russia to stop its aggression. Currently, the missiles have only been used within Ukraine's recognized borders. With U.S. approval for strikes on Russian territory, pressure is mounting on Starmer's government to follow suit. Starmer indicated that Ukraine should have the necessary support but avoided detailing any specific military decisions.
