England gives green light to Kiev to attack Russia with Storm Shadow missiles

The news agency AP announced that British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, before leaving for Washington to attend the NATO summit, responding to the Bloomberg reporter, has declared that it is up to Ukraine to decide how to use the missiles " Storm Shadow" given by Britain, an indication that Ukrainian forces will be allowed to strike targets inside Russia.

He emphasized that the aid provided by Great Britain was "for defense purposes", but Kiev can "decide how to use it for defense purposes".

Bloomberg gave more details than Starmer's response to the question, which came as he spoke to reporters on the way to the NATO summit in Washington.

This US outlet quoted the Labor leader as saying that long-range missiles should "of course be used in accordance with international humanitarian law".

Former British Foreign Secretary David Cameron, who was part of the previous Conservative government, made similar comments regarding Ukraine's use of Storm Shadow missiles earlier this year.

The Kremlin has criticized the new British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, for his words that Kiev could use British-supplied Storm Shadow missiles against Russian territory.

During his daily press conference, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said he had not seen the comments attributed to Starmer, but if he said Ukraine would be allowed Storm Shadow missiles to strike inside Russian territory, then "this would be another irresponsible step".

"If that were the case, of course, this is another irresponsible step, an absolutely irresponsible step towards an escalation of tensions and a serious deterioration of the situation. We will carefully record all this and, of course, we will take appropriate measures," said Peskov, quoted by Russian agencies.
