      Britain is expected to supply Storm Shadow missiles for use by Ukraine on targets inside Russia, now that US president Joe Biden has agreed to do the same for the similar American long-range Atacms weapon.

      Keir Starmer, the prime minister, said at the G20 summit that the UK recognised it needed to “double down” on its support for Ukraine, while diplomatic sources briefed they expected other European countries to follow the US lead.

      The prime minister said that, while he was “not going to get into operational details”, he recognised the need to do more to help Ukraine, whose electricity network was seriously damaged by a wave of Russian bombing on Sunday.

      “I’ve been really clear for a long time now, we need to double down. We need to make sure Ukraine has what is necessary for as long as necessary, because we cannot allow Putin to win this war,” the prime minister said.

      Russia, however, accused the west of escalation and said that Biden risked adding “fuel to the fire” in Ukraine, and while Donald Trump remained silent on the issue, his son Don Jr accused the military industrial complex of wanting to get “world war three going”.

      Storm Shadow missiles have a range of about 250km, similar to the US Atacms, and have in the past been given to Kyiv by the UK and France to strike targets inside Ukraine’s internationally recognised borders.

      But the US retained an effective veto on their use because it supplies a guidance system and repeated lobbying by the UK had failed to shift the US position, which has only begun to soften after the election victory of Donald Trump earlier this month.

      Ukrains have had SS missiles for a year, and the range on them doesnt allow much penetration into russia anyway, especially as they are launched from planes that are having issues with enemy SAM coverage.

      Stupid article, pointless post.

      Am I missing something or would this cause WW3? NATO supplied, NATO guided missiles being shot into Russia.
      Don’t get me wrong Russia firing missiles from behind their border is beyond fucked up. I feel like many many more people (not just Russians and Ukrainians) could die because of this. Is the other option trying to negotiate for peace? I’m not exactly an expert but I’m also quite keen not to go war myself. Completely open to hearing the other side of the argument.

      BBC reported that biden has vetoed storm shadow use a few hours ago

      Quick, get as many rockets as possible flogged off before Trump is sworn in and ruins this lucrative, opportunistic war for everyone!

      Fantastic, Russia can then start hitting British targets worldwide.

      Biden and the Democrats heating up the war to spite Donald Trump is despicable even for them.

      His presidency has been an absolute disaster.

      This shit really makes me Angry 😡 their decisions mmake us all guilty in the eyes of Putin, and most of us would and do not agree with any of this crap that our politicians get up to, for real 😡

      Is this some kind of absurd warmongering 4D chess move to try to give the excuse for everyone to de-escalate in January when Trump is sworn in? Because this seems so absurdly stupid to just come out and say publicly that “Yes, this is a very thinly veiled proxy war with Russia”

      Good, this should have happened months ago. Russia only knows cruelty and violence at this point, strength is the only language they communicate in.

      People saying that this is WW3: the west has crossed so many ‘red lines’ laid down by Putin that there words now ring hollow, they can’t kick the Ukrainians out of Kursk region, how are they going to wage war on Europe and America?

      Nuclear war is self assured destruction and the only two places the Kremlin cares about, Moscow and St Petersburg, would be destroyed within minutes of them pushing their own red button. This is the right thing to do and Ukraine needs to be given more missiles.

      UK must still have some blue Danube’s in the back of a warehouse they could spare

      There’s only one major risk to our survival and it’s nuclear war.

      It concerns me how eager Keir Starmer seems to be. I hope he’s weighing up everything and not just blinding Ukraine because he believes it’s the right thing to do.
