The UK has reportedly permitted Ukraine to deploy long-range Storm Shadow missiles against targets in Russia, specifically in the Kursk region. Russian officials have acknowledged the missile strikes, which resulted in significant explosions. The British government has declined to comment on the matter, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has been seeking permission for such weapon usage for months. The situation raises tensions, particularly with recent U.S. approvals for advanced weaponry, leading to Russia’s response regarding NATO involvement.
