UK hands over dozens more Storm Shadow missiles to Ukraine - Bloomberg
The UK government has recently handed over a new batch of long-range Storm Shadow cruise missiles to Ukraine.
According to Censor.NET, Bloomberg reports this with reference to sources.
These are the first deliveries under new Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who has been in office since July this year. Meanwhile, the US news agency's interlocutors refused to say when the missiles arrived or give an exact number, citing security concerns.
The article says that the new batch has not been publicly announced, but was carried out a few weeks ago due to the fact that Kyiv had depleted its stock of long-range missiles.
At the same time, the article emphasises that the missiles were sent before the recent decision by the US and the UK to allow Ukraine to launch long-range missiles at targets inside Russia.
"The deliveries, which were not publicly announced, took place several weeks ago and were ordered after Kyiv ran low on the long-range missiles," the people told Bloomberg on condition of anonymity.
As a reminder, UK Defence Secretary John Healey believes that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin will not stop if he wins in Ukraine, so NATO should double its support for Kyiv and strengthen the Alliance's collective defence.
