The US does not object to the use of Storm Shadow missiles in the Russian Federation - the media

Telegraph with reference to its own sources reports that they are currently not blocking the UK permission to beat around Russia. Moreover, the White House did not receive any request at all. The White House does not confirm the US blocking information requesting the UK to grant permission to use Storm Shadow missiles in the Russian Federation. About it reports The Telegraph with reference to the representative of the Presidential Administration Joe Biden.

According to the interlocutor, the official request for launching missiles across the border with Russia in Ukraine did not receive at all, although some of the American production systems would need to be used. According to President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, this would allow Ukraine to strike a number of key goals on the front line, including aerodromes, ammunition depots and Russian command points.

Telegraph points out that any use of these missiles will require Ukraine to consent not only to the countries that have developed them-the United Kingdom and France-but also by the United States. Earlier, The Times reported Washington's refusal to use Storm Shadow missiles in Russia because of fears of further escalation. The whole thing is that the White House expected the results of surgery in the Kursk region.

We will add that President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky has repeatedly asked permission to use American missiles, but every time he received a refusal. In particular, ATACMS could not be used in Russia because of a limited stock of these missiles. Like, due to lack of this weapon it is better to use for attacks on objects in Crimea. At the same time, Ukraine uses the British Challenger Tanks in the Russian Federation 2. It should be noted that they are used to protect the border, not for attack.
