UK’s Starmer says Ukraine can use British missiles to strike inside Russia , Russia would respond

Keir Starmer signaled Ukraine can use Britain’s Storm Shadow missiles to strike military targets inside Russia, confirming he would continue the previous UK government’s policy on the use of its long-range weapons in the Russia-Ukraine war.

Starmer agreed it was up to Ukraine how it used the Storm Shadow missiles donated by the UK, when asked by a Bloomberg reporter.

He was speaking to journalists while traveling to the NATO summit in Washington late Tuesday.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday that Russia would respond if Britain allowed Ukraine to strike Russia with British weapons.
