Ukraine has reportedly fired UK-supplied Storm Shadow missiles at Russian targets. This follows U.S. President Joe Biden's approval for Ukraine to use ATACMS missiles against Russia, which drew a strong response from President Vladimir Putin. There were expectations that the UK would allow the use of Storm Shadow missiles inside Russia after Biden's decision. However, the UK government has not confirmed these reports, despite earlier hints from Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Defence Secretary John Healey stated that Ukraine's actions demonstrate their commitment. He emphasized the UK government's ongoing support for Ukraine but did not provide details on the missile deployment.
