THE UK Defense Secretary Ben Wallace announced from the floor of the House of Commons that the London will send to Ukraine long range missiles.
It’s about press missiles Storm Shadow, which have a range of 250 kilometers. They are launched from aircraft and the missiles have the ability to fall at low altitude avoiding enemy radars.
Kiev has long requested such weapons, but the US and other countries have been reluctant to provide them due to fears of escalating the conflict with possible strikes inside Russia.
Washington has provided the Ukrainian armed forces with Himar missiles with a range of 80 kilometers.
The deployment of the British missiles will take place as Ukraine prepares a counter-attack against Russia. “The missiles will allow Ukraine to push back Russian forces that are on sovereign Ukrainian territory,” Mr Wallace told British MPs.
His Ukrainian counterpart, Oleksii Reznikov, had stated months ago that Kiev was willing to give guarantees that such missiles would not be used for attacks on Russian territory.
Responding to this development, Moscow warned that an “adequate military response” would be required.
