UK Secretly Supplies Dozens of Storm Shadow Missiles to Ukraine Before Russian Strikes Approval

The UK government recently supplied Ukraine with dozens more Storm Shadow cruise missiles, according to sources cited by Bloomberg. The deliveries, which were not publicly announced, occurred several weeks ago in late October and early November, marking the first such transfer since Prime Minister Keir Starmer took office in July. The missiles were sent after Ukraine had run low on its stockpile and before the recent decision by the US, UK, and France to allow Ukraine to carry out long-range strikes deep into Russian territory. The resupply of these long-range weapons is expected to bolster Ukraine's capabilities as it begins a strike campaign into Russian territory.
