Ukraine has made a significant move in its conflict with Russia by firing UK-supplied Storm Shadow missiles into Russian territory for the first time, according to reports from the BBC. The UK government has remained silent on the matter, but Defence Secretary Ben Wallace acknowledged Ukraine’s actions on the battlefield.
This development comes shortly after US-supplied Army Tactical Missile System (Atacms) missiles were also used to strike targets within Russia. In addition, President Joe Biden has authorized the provision of anti-personnel landmines to Ukraine as part of increased aid to help deter Russian advancements.
The use of long-range missiles by Ukraine marks a notable escalation in the conflict between the two countries. As tensions continue to rise, the international community is closely monitoring developments in the region.
