UK supports Ukraine's use of long-range missiles against Russia

standard.co.uk

The UK has announced its "full backing" for Ukraine, coinciding with reports that it will allow Kyiv to use long-range missiles against targets in Russia. This follows U.S. President Joe Biden's approval for Ukraine to fire U.S.-supplied missiles into Russia. France is also reportedly supporting this move. The decision may be a response to increased military involvement from North Korea in the conflict. The use of long-range missiles could strengthen Ukraine's position in ongoing battles, particularly in the Kursk region. In related news, a Russian missile strike in Ukraine's Sumy region killed 11 people, including two children, and injured 89 others. This attack is part of a larger wave of missile strikes that targeted Ukraine's power grid, resulting in significant casualties.
