Ukraine launches attack on Russian territory with British long-range missiles

This Wednesday, the Ukrainian Armed Forces launched an attack against Russian territory with British long-range Storm Shadow missiles following the United States’ decision to authorize kyiv to use this type of projectile.

As reported by the newspaper ‘The Guardian’, the United Kingdom has given Ukraine the go-ahead to attack Russian territory with this type of British missiles in retaliation for the deployment of more than 10,000 North Korean soldiers on the Russian border.

The United Kingdom Defense Minister, John Healey, has avoided confirming the attack, although he has assured that “Ukraine’s actions on the battlefield speak for themselves.” “At this time I cannot go into further operational details,” he added.

Likewise, Ukraine’s Defense Minister Rustem Umerov has remained silent on the use of British missiles. “We are not going to go into details, but I will simply say that we are trained and capable of responding,” he concluded, as reported by the BBC.

The Kremlin has warned on several occasions that the US endorsement of the use of long-range missiles of the ATACMS type could imply the beginning of a new phase in the conflict. Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday enacted a change in nuclear doctrine that expands the type of threats to which Moscow reserves the right to respond.
