British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and members of the government refused to make an official statement on the use of Storm Shadow in order not to give Russia a "strategic advantage on the battlefield." At the same time, Starmer's confidants said that the use of Storm Shadow, which requires the operation of American guidance systems, is unlikely to change the course of the Ukrainian conflict. Bloomberg also reported that the West does not believe in the ability of strikes deep into the Russian Federation to change the course of the conflict. "Officials of the allied countries do not expect that the recent resolution will significantly affect the situation, at least for the moment, or radically change the balance of power in the conflict," the publication says.

"It was absolutely the right decision. I understand that this was also caused by a serious change in the conflict, which cannot be underestimated, namely the introduction of North Korean troops into European territory," he said, adding that only Russia was to blame for the escalation of the Ukrainian conflict, and Washington was forced to respond to "a sudden change in this war." |
