Ukraine fires UK-made Storm Shadow missiles into Russia for first time

We are using all the means to defend our country, Ukraine’s defence minister said today – as he declined to comment on reports that Ukraine has used the British made Storm Shadow to target sites inside Russia for the first time.

Although Number 10 also said they will not comment, it is thought permission to use longer range missiles was given by the UK and the US following the deployment of more than 10,000 North Korean troops on Russia’s border with Ukraine.
