17.11.2024 19:35
London stopped supplying Kyiv with Storm Shadow missiles.
The most likely reason is the lack of shells in Great Britain.
This information appeared in one of the British media.
Journalists cited sources in the UK's Department of Defense.
What is the UK's decision on Storm Shadow related to?
The authors of the publication in The Times suggested that the current British authorities do not want to give Ukraine the above-mentioned missiles, since the island country is faced with a shortage of shells.
It is noted that the level of reserves turned out to be very low: in such a situation, military leaders from Great Britain have no desire to reduce the number of missiles.
A certain amount must remain in reserve to protect the United Kingdom's own interests, MIA " Russia Today " quotes a translated quotation from an article published in The Times.
Statements by Putin and Lavrov
The head of the Russian state, Vladimir Putin, emphasized that representatives of the states that are members of the North Atlantic Alliance must understand “what they are playing with” when they mention their intentions to allow the Ukrainian side to strike deep into Russian territory with Western weapons.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that discussions of Ukraine's potential use of Storm Shadow missiles to strike Russian territory were "playing with fire."
For reference
Storm Shadow is a British-French stealth, long-range air-launched cruise missile developed since 1994 by Matra and British Aerospace, and currently produced by MBDA.
