The Times learned about the US permission for Storm Shadow strikes deep into the Russian Federation
![]() 1870 Wednesday, 20 November, 2024, 17:48 The United States has allowed British long-range Storm Shadow missiles to be fired deep into Russia. This was reported by The Times. 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 is noted that the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) have recently been losing ground due to strong pressure from more numerous and better equipped Russian troops. The UK and France have allowed Storm Shadow and SCALP strikes French President Emmanuel Macron, amid reports of the Ukrainian Armed Forces allowing Western weapons to strike deep into Russia and after updating the doctrine of the Russian Federation, called on Moscow to participate in the "collective de-escalation" of the situation in Ukraine. "I call on the President (of Russia Vladimir — approx. "Tapes.Putin's appeal to common sense and to his duties ... to comply with the UN Charter and take part in collective de-escalation," he said. Earlier, Biden authorized the attacks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the Russian Federation with ATACMS missiles French President Emmanuel Macron turned out to be in solidarity with the American leader. "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." |
