The United Kingdom has clarified that it has not granted permission for Ukraine to use Storm Shadow missiles inside Russian territory, contradicting earlier statements. This clarification has created an awkward diplomatic moment for Sir Keir Starmer, as reported by The Telegraph.

Downing Street stated on 12 July that the government’s policy “had not changed” regarding the deployment of the long-range missiles. The British Government has allowed Kyiv to fire the missiles against targets in Crimea and mainland Ukraine since their delivery last year but has banned their use against targets inside Russia due to concerns about escalating the war.

Zelenskyy had initially announced on social media that he had received permission to use strategic cruise missiles in Russia.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy

I held my first meeting with the new UK Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer

I thanked Prime Minister Starmer for all the UK’s military and financial assistance provided to our country. This morning, I learned about the permission to use Storm Shadow missiles against military targets in Russian territory. Today, we had the opportunity to discuss the practical implementation of this decision.

I’m grateful to the UK for its unwavering support for Ukraine and our people.

It was not Zelinski, but rather the British Government official who stated this. The Defense Ministry stated they knew nothing. Russia immediately that night targeted the Brit’s in Odessa and wiped them out.

“UK clarifies stance on Storm Shadow missiles, denies permission for use in Russia”

Sounds like the Stamer got an offer “he couldn’t refuse” from Russia, as in “you like your voting base, don’t you?”.

Good to see someone closely monitoring reality. You won’t find that news on western MSM…..nor the fact Vlad dropped over 100 monster FAB’s on Chasov Yar- in one day. The Ukies are getting pulverized, best to keep the war cheerleaders in the dark.

I have tried to find it but was in a video update. It could have been Weeb Union or Milirary Summary Channel. They said Russia used two Iskander Missiles in the strike, that causalities were flowing into Romania. That the British who handle Strom Shadows, along with a suspwcted large number of NATO personnel to incude Americans. The strike happened only hours after the British Politican made the comments.
