Great Britain<\/strong> will provide Ukraine<\/strong> with additional Storm Shadow<\/strong> cruise missiles to strike military facilities on Russian<\/strong> territory. Bloomberg<\/a><\/strong> reports the planned delivery, citing sources.<\/p>\n

According to the publication\u2019s sources, the transfer of the missiles was discussed by British Prime Minister Andy Burnham<\/strong> and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy<\/strong>. They met in London<\/strong> on October 14<\/strong>. The number of missiles Ukraine will receive has not been disclosed.<\/p>\n

The British side views strikes on Russian facilities involved in attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure in Ukraine<\/strong> as defensive.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Bloomberg<\/strong> sources say that in recent weeks Russia<\/strong> has been increasing production of jet-powered drones and missiles to intensify its attacks on Ukraine<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cIt is therefore very important that Kyiv<\/strong> be able to counter these actions,\u201d Bloomberg<\/strong> sources stressed.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Storm Shadow<\/strong> missiles are British-made cruise missiles launched from aircraft. Their range exceeds 250 kilometers<\/strong>. Their low-altitude flight and high accuracy make them harder for Russian air defenses to intercept.<\/p>\n

Great Britain<\/strong> has been supplying Ukraine<\/strong> with these weapons since 2023<\/strong>. Initial authorizations restricted their use to targets within Ukraine\u2019s<\/strong> internationally recognized borders.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cIn late 2024<\/strong>, Ukrainian armed forces expanded their use, deploying British cruise missiles for the first time against military targets on Russian<\/strong> territory,\u201d Bloomberg<\/strong> reported.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In addition, Great Britain<\/strong> will provide Ukraine<\/strong> with air defense missiles worth 45 million pounds sterling<\/strong>. Delivery of some of these missiles will be expedited in preparation for winter.<\/p>\n
