Pressure rises on UK prime minister after Joe Biden authorised use of US-supplied long-range weapons
Sir Keir Starmer has declined to rule out allowing Ukraine to use UK-made Storm Shadow cruise missiles for strikes inside Russia, after President Joe Biden authorised the use of US-supplied long-range weapons. The UK prime minister said he did not want to get into “operational details” about the proposal, arguing the only beneficiary would be Russian president Vladimir Putin.
On Monday, UK junior defence minister Maria Eagle was asked whether the country would align with the US in permitting Ukraine to use the missile defence systems that Britain has supplied “as it sees fit in its own defence”. She replied: “Absolutely”. She added: “We intend to align with our allies in making sure that Ukraine can make use of the capability that has been offered by those who have committed support to that country in its fight.
