The United States and the United Kingdom may soon authorize Ukraine to use British and French long-range missiles, including the Storm Shadow, to strike military targets deep inside Russian territory. This decision, reported by multiple sources including The Guardian and The Times, indicates a significant shift in the Western approach to supporting Ukraine in its conflict with Russia. The Biden administration has been a key factor in the delay, but recent reports suggest that consensus has been reached. However, the U.S. will not permit the use of its own long-range weapons for these operations. The head of Russian diplomacy, Sergei Lavrov, has previously commented on this potential escalation.
