UK may permit Ukraine to use Storm Shadow missiles following US approval for strikes on Russia
The U.S. has approved Ukraine's use of American missiles to strike targets in Russia, marking a significant shift in policy. This decision may influence the UK to allow Ukraine to use its Storm Shadow missiles, which can evade air defenses and travel at 600 mph. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has been urging Western allies for more support to target Russian territory. The UK has already supplied Storm Shadow missiles to Ukraine, which have been effective in previous strikes against Russian positions. Russian officials have warned that this escalation could lead to a direct conflict with NATO. They claim the U.S. decision increases the risk of a wider war, while Ukraine may soon change its stance on using Storm Shadows against Russian military assets.
