As the newspaper writes, Western diplomats are ready to sign such a decision. It is also noted that this permission will not be disclosed until the launch of the first rocket.
The West hopes that “a private agreement can be reached that will allow Ukraine to launch British and French-made cruise missiles at Russia with an element of surprise.”
One of the interlocutors explained that in this way the USA and Great Britain want to show that NATO moves as a “unit” and avoid the impression that these two countries “dominate decision-making”.
However, one of the officials admitted that high-ranking officials in the US administration are focused on “creating a legacy” and want to move faster through the upcoming US presidential election.

The publication also explains that the pressure on the West to allow the use of Storm Shadow in the Russian Federation is growing. All because the Kremlin received new ballistic missiles from Iran.
