Britain has likely lifted the ban on Storm Shadow strikes within Russian territory, according to media reports.
The ban on Ukraine striking Russian territory with British Storm Shadow missiles has likely been lifted. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has "begun to dismiss caution" following the lifting of restrictions by US President Joe Biden. This was reported by The Times citing sources, as conveyed by UNN.
According to the publication, the Prime Minister suggested that Ukraine's use of British-made Storm Shadow missiles against Russia is merely a matter of time.
"We must provide Ukraine with everything it needs as long as it is necessary to win this war. But I am not going to delve into operational matters, because in that case, there will only be one winner - Putin," said Keir Starmer.
High-ranking government sources stated that the change in Starmer's wording was intentional, hinting that previous objections to the use of "Storm Shadows" by Americans have now been lifted.
