UK increases support for Ukraine as US allows missile strikes in Russia

The UK plans to increase its support for Ukraine, with speculation that British-supplied missiles may be used to target deep inside Russia. This follows the US allowing Ukraine to use its weapons for strikes in Russia, a shift after pressure from Ukraine's President Zelensky. UK Defence Secretary John Healey emphasized close cooperation with the US but did not confirm any changes to restrictions on Storm Shadow missiles. He stated that Russia is responsible for escalating the conflict, dismissing Kremlin claims that Western missile use would worsen tensions. As Ukraine prepares for winter, the UK aims to strengthen its position. Meanwhile, the US's new policy could have significant political implications, as Ukraine seeks to maintain support amid concerns over potential changes in US leadership.
