Bloomberg, citing informed sources, stated that dozens of Storm Shadow missiles were delivered to Kyiv. The shipment reportedly occurred after the United States and the UK agreed to allow Ukraine to conduct long-range strikes on targets within Russia.
The exact timing of the delivery and the precise number of missiles remain undisclosed. According to Bloomberg, the sources declined to specify these details due to security concerns.
This delivery is the first under the leadership of UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who has pledged continued support for Ukraine in its defence against Russian aggression. Bloomberg quoted sources as saying, “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 provision of Storm Shadow missiles highlights the UK’s commitment to strengthening Ukraine’s defensive capabilities. By supplying these advanced weapons, the UK aims to help Ukraine address escalating threats while reaffirming its strategic partnership, as reported by Bloomberg.
