UK’s Starmer drops fresh hint over Storm Shadow missiles for Ukraine – POLITICO

by · POLITICO

RIO DE JANEIRO — Keir Starmer gave his clearest signal yet that Ukraine could win authorization to strike targets in Russia with Britain’s own Storm Shadow missiles, arguing Kyiv must have “what it needs” to triumph.

On the 1,000th day since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the U.K. Prime Minister said allies must put Kyiv in the “strongest possible position” to win. It comes after Ukraine reportedly used long range U.S. missiles to hit Russia for the first time.

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday responded to his outgoing U.S. counterpart Joe Biden’s green-light for Ukraine to fire ATACMS ballistic missiles into Russia by upping his nuclear saber rattling.
