UK confirms delivery of long-range Storm Shadow missiles to Ukraine
The UK authorities have officially confirmed the transfer of long-range Storm Shadow missiles to Ukraine.
This was stated by British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace during a meeting of the British Parliament, according to Yevropeiska Pravda.
"Today I can confirm that the UK is transferring Storm Shadow missiles to Ukraine. Storm Shadow missiles are long-range precision-guided missiles that can strike from conventional weapons," he said.
The minister noted that these missiles will complement other Western weapons that Ukraine has, such as the HIMARS and Harpoon systems, as well as Ukrainian-made Neptune missiles.
He added that Storm Shadow will allow Ukraine to defend itself against targeted Russian attacks on critical infrastructure.
"The use of Storm Shadow will allow Ukraine to push Russian forces off Ukrainian sovereign territory," Wallace emphasized.
