We should be giving Ukraine long range capabilities. They need to be hitting Moscow like Russia hits Kyiv.

Storm Shadow missiles have components from many countries, including the U.S., France and Italy, so permission is needed from all parties to use them.
It’s about treaty compliance and the way international weapon agreements work, and less about political influence.

Aside from the usual Putin supporters/complete morons calling for this to happen because they’re desperate for NATO and Russia to go to war, it’s worth bearing in mind these will make little difference to the outcome of the war, so the risk might outweigh the benefit.
They need much more support on the ground, not long range missiles. Ukraine is struggling to equip multiple army groups at the moment, so lets fix that before we start infighting about long range missiles.

Clearly we are not answerable to the US….
