The U.K.'s foreign minister has told Ukrainian officials that missiles supplied by Britain can be used for strikes on Russian soil.
Ukraine should be free to strike targets on Russian territory with weapons it receives from London, David Cameron, the United Kingdom's foreign secretary, has said during a visit to Kyiv.'Ukraine has that right. Just as Russia is striking inside Ukraine, you can quite understand why Ukraine feels the need to make sure it's defending itself,' Cameron said outside St. Michael's Cathedral in Kyiv, according to Reuters.
The news comes as another major boost for Kyiv, just days after the U.S. approved a historic and long-awaited $60 billion Ukraine aid package.Prior to that, the Biden administration had not sent a package of aid to Kyiv since December, allowing Russian forces to take advantage of dwindling Ukrainian resources to make significant gains along the front line.The latest U.K. aid package will be used to rapidly deliver ammunition, air defenses, drones and engineering support to Ukraine, U.K.
