Ukraine has reportedly launched British Storm Shadow missiles into Russia for the first time, according to Bloomberg. This marks a significant escalation in Ukraine's military actions. Previously, the UK allowed Ukraine to use these missiles only within its own territory. The UK government had been seeking U.S. approval for Ukraine to target Russian sites. This week, U.S. President Joe Biden updated policy to permit Ukraine to use American-made weapons for strikes deep into Russia.
