Ukraine announced the use of British Storm Shadow missiles to attack Russia #new

Kyiv is already using UK permission to accept Storm Shadow missiles for attacks on Russian territory. This statement was made by Advisor to the Minister for Strategic Industries of Ukraine Yuriy Sak in an interview with Bloomberg.
He said there was already a “precedent” for Britain allowing Kyiv to use supplied long-range missiles.
“And we use them successfully,” Sack said.
He also stated that Ukraine is creating its own weapons, which are used for attacks on Russian territory. Let us remind you that the Ukrainian Armed Forces use British Storm Shadow missiles for attacks on Crimea. On May 13, air defense forces shot down four such shells.
Earlier it became known that Poland allowed the Ukrainian Armed Forces to use weapons supplied to it to attack targets in Russia.
Kiev’s Western backers need to understand that long-range strikes on Russian territory using weaponry they have supplied would represent a conflict escalation and lead to “serious consequences,” Russian President Vladimir Putin outlined. Putin explained that long-range precision strikes require space reconnaissance assets – which Kiev does not have, but the US does – and that this targeting is already done by “highly qualified specialists” from the West, without Ukrainian participation.
“So, these representatives of NATO countries, especially in Europe, especially in small countries, must be aware of what they are playing with,” the Russian president said, noting that a lot of these countries have “a small territory and a very dense population.”
Putin told reporters that their colleagues in the West are ignoring Ukrainian attacks on Belgorod and other Russian regions along the border, and only focusing on the Russian advance on Kharkiv.
“What caused this? They did, with their own hands. Well, then, they will reap what they have sown. The same thing can happen if long-range precision weapons are used,” the Russian president added.
Asked if Russia was refusing to negotiate with Ukraine, Putin told reporters that such claims by the West were baffling.
“We don’t refuse!” he said. “I’ve said it a thousand times, it’s like they don’t have ears!”
