The UK is set to provide Storm Shadow missiles to Ukraine, allowing strikes on targets inside Russia. This follows U.S. President Joe Biden's recent approval for Ukraine to use long-range Atacms missiles, marking a shift in Western military support. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer emphasized the need to enhance support for Ukraine, especially after recent Russian attacks on its infrastructure. Other European nations may also consider similar actions in response to the evolving situation. Russia has condemned these developments, accusing the West of escalating the conflict. Russian officials warn that allowing Ukraine to strike inside Russia could lead to a direct confrontation with NATO.
