Ukraine uses British cruise missiles against targets in Russia

Ukraine has launched British Storm Shadow cruise missiles into Russia, marking a significant escalation in its military capabilities. This follows the recent use of US-made ATACMS missiles against Russian targets. The Biden administration announced it will provide Ukraine with antipersonnel mines as part of a $275 million military aid package. This includes various artillery systems and munitions, aimed at bolstering Ukraine's defense against Russian advances. In response to these developments, Russia has altered its nuclear policy, allowing for potential nuclear retaliation against conventional attacks supported by nuclear powers. This shift has raised tensions and prompted temporary closures of several Western embassies in Kyiv.
