Starmer and Defence Secretary refused to say whether Kyiv would be given the go-ahead to use British-made Storm Shadow missiles to strike a blow against Moscow
allowing long-range missiles to be used by Ukraine inside RussiaSir Keir Starmer and Defence Secretary John Healey refused to say whether Kyiv would be given the go-ahead to use British-made Storm Shadow missiles to strike a blow against Moscow as the conflict neared its 1,000th day.
Ministry of Defence sources insisted she was speaking about general collaboration with allies over Ukraine. “But I’ve been really clear for a long time now that we need to double down. We need to make sure Ukraine has what is necessary for as long as necessary, because we cannot allow Putin to win this war.”Asked how he responded to allies of Trump that the missile decision could cause a global conflict, the PM said: “I haven’t spoken to Russia and I’ve got no plans to do so.”He added: “We have to support Ukraine in this.
“Or are are we expecting Ukraine to continue fighting and defending itself with one hand tied behind its back and to keep those storm shadows in safe storage?” He added: “Nobody’s talking about the big cities of Russia; it wouldn’t reach Moscow, it wouldn’t reach St Petersburg, none of these things. This is about hitting divisional level structures that are supporting the invasion.
