Ukraine Seeks UK Approval for Long-Range Missile Strikes

Published

on

A group of prominent UK political figures, including five former Conservative defense secretaries and ex-Prime Minister Boris Johnson, are urging Prime Minister Keir Starmer to permit Ukraine to use long-range missiles within Russian territory, even without US support.

This call to action, reported by the Sunday Times, comes as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy continues to request Western missile capabilities to counter Moscow’s aggression.

The five former defense secretaries – Grant Shapps, Ben Wallace, Gavin Williamson, Penny Mordaunt, and Liam Fox – joined forces to caution Starmer that delaying this decision will only “embolden President Putin.”

Their warning underscores the gravity of the situation and the need for decisive leadership.

During his recent talks with US President Joe Biden in Washington, Starmer discussed the possibility of allowing Ukraine to deploy long-range missiles against Russian targets.

EDITORS PICK:

However, no concrete decision was made, leaving the international community eagerly awaiting a resolution.

Some US officials remain unconvinced that permitting Ukraine to use long-range missiles would significantly impact the ongoing conflict.

Meanwhile, President Vladimir Putin has issued a stark warning, stating that Western-made long-range missile strikes would be tantamount to direct involvement in the conflict.

As the situation unfolds, Starmer faces mounting pressure to make a crucial decision that could potentially alter the course of the war.

Will the UK Prime Minister heed the calls of his predecessors and allies, or will he opt for a more cautious approach? The world watches as the fate of Ukraine hangs in the balance.
