Ukraine remains barred from using UK Storm Shadow missiles for strikes deep into Russia

Ukraine is still not allowed to use UK-made Storm Shadow missiles to strike deep into Russia. The U.S. has approved limited strikes with its own long-range missiles, but the UK remains blocked from using its missiles due to U.S. technology requirements. British officials have been trying to persuade President Biden to lift the ban on Storm Shadows, but the American veto is still in place. The UK government has not confirmed any changes to this situation, focusing instead on supporting Ukraine's defense. Ukrainian President Zelensky has been advocating for the ability to target Russian bases, claiming it is essential for his military strategy. Meanwhile, Russia has warned that allowing such strikes would escalate the conflict significantly.
