Senior figures in Kyiv have suggested that using the Anglo-French weapons in a “demonstration attack” will show the Kremlin that military sites near the capital itself could be vulnerable to direct strikes.
The thinking, according to a senior government official, is that Russia will consider negotiating only if it believes Ukraine had the ability “to threaten Moscow and St Petersburg”. This is a high-risk strategy, however, and does not so far have the support of the US.
Give this guy what he needs to finish the job.
It is reported that the UK had not applied formally to the US for permission to allow Ukraine to use Storm Shadow inside Russia.
I mean, we don’t make Storm Shadow/SCALP. As far as I know, we didn’t pay for the weapons that France and the UK sent.
I struggle to think of another war where allies gave a country weapons but limited how they could use them against the enemy.
They are at war. Untie their hands for God’s sake.
