President Zelensky called on Great Britain and the United States to overcome their “fear” and show “determination” in this matter.
In addition, 5 former defense ministers ex-prime minister called on the head of the British government Kiir Starmer to act unilaterally. They warned that delay would only embolden Kremlin ruler Vladimir Putin.
However, The Times notes, Great Britain “will not act alone” because American guidance systems are considered crucial for the missiles (Storm Shadow – ed.) to hit the target.
The British authorities believe that the US is likely to give the “green light” at the UN General Assembly in New York, although there are differences in President Biden’s administration.
What preceded: Starmer stated that the final decision on the use of Storm Shadow missiles deep into the territory of the Russian Federation has not yet been made, but hinted that further development is possible in this matter.
The media previously reported that the US and Britain agreed with other allies to allow Ukraine to hit military targets on Russian territory with Storm Shadow missiles, which is a long-standing demand of Kyiv.
However, the White House later said that the US would not make any announcements about a change in policy regarding granting Ukraine permission to use long-range missiles after Biden’s meeting with Starmer.
