The British Ministry of Defense (MoD) has confirmed that Ukraine is authorized to use British-made weapons on Russian soil. This decision was initially made by former Defence Secretary Ben Wallace and remains unchanged. The UK has called on its allies to support Ukraine's right to strike with Storm Shadow missiles on Russian territory, despite some Western governments expressing caution, according to The Times. The confirmation by the British government comes amidst Ukraine's recent incursion into Kursk, highlighting ongoing tensions in the region.
