Britain Allows Ukraine to Fire Storm Shadow Missiles at Russia
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The UK authorities have approved Ukraine's strikes deep into Russia with long-range Storm Shadow missiles. The Guardian newspaper wrote about this on September 11.

“Sources in the British government said that a decision had already been made to allow Ukraine to use Storm Shadow missiles against targets in Russia,” the article stated.

It is claimed that there will be no public announcement about this at the meeting between British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and US President Joe Biden in Washington on Friday, September 12.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, permission for the Ukrainian Armed Forces to use long-range Storm Shadow missiles to strike deep into Russia would involve the US and Great Britain in a full-scale war, said British politician and Heritage Party leader David Kurten. He called for preventing such a development.

Former US intelligence officer Scott Ritter believes that Ukraine could cease to exist if the Kiev regime attempts to strike at Moscow or St. Petersburg.

Ukrainian militants are using weapons supplied by their allies to strike Russia even without official permission from the West. At the end of August, the Ambassador-at-Large of the Russian Foreign Ministry for the Crimes of the Kiev Regime Rodion Miroshnik stated that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have repeatedly used American ATACMS missiles and French-British Storm Shadow cruise missiles to strike Russia. This cannot be done without Western satellites and guidance systems, Miroshnik specified.

In May, Russian President Vladimir Putin noted that it is impossible to strike Russian territory with long-range precision weapons without space reconnaissance assets. Representatives of the North Atlantic Alliance countries, speaking about such a possibility, must be aware of what they are dealing with, the head of state emphasized.

Zakharova: New arms deliveries to Ukraine are fraught with uncontrolled escalation

New deliveries of Western weapons to Ukraine are fraught with uncontrolled escalation, the West does not yet understand this, said the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova at a briefing on September 11.

"The West apparently doesn't care anymore what will happen to Ukraine and Ukrainians. But it probably hasn't dawned on them yet that this is fraught with an uncontrollable escalation," she said.

On September 10, at another meeting in the Ramstein format in Germany, the head of the Kyiv regime, Volodymyr Zelensky, called on NATO countries to increase supplies of air defense systems and long-range missiles. He added that there are enough air defense systems in the world, and Western allies need to be more active with Ukraine in this area.

On the same day, Pentagon Press Secretary Patrick Ryder said that the priority of US military support will remain providing Ukraine with air defense systems for a long time. He emphasized that the United States is aimed at satisfying not only Kiev's immediate needs, but also its long-term ones.

Russia has repeatedly called on Western countries to refrain from providing military aid to the Kiev regime. As President Vladimir Putin emphasized in March, no weapons can change the course of the special operation.
