Ukraine launched British Storm Shadow cruise missiles into Russia on Wednesday, marking a new phase in its use of Western weapons against Russian targets. This follows the recent firing of US-made ATACMS missiles. The Biden administration announced it will provide Ukraine with antipersonnel mines to help slow Russian advances on the battlefield. This represents a significant change in US military support for Ukraine. Russian sources reported the missile strikes, while Ukraine's military did not confirm details. Moscow views these actions as a major escalation in the conflict, which has now lasted nearly 1,000 days.
