"Very confusing": The Times explained why Britain does not allow the Armed Forces to beat the Russian Storm Shadow

Britain has already sent requests to her allies and is waiting for an answer before discussing this issue with Ukraine, the newspaper writes. The United Kingdom cannot make a decision to remove the restrictions on the use of Storm Shadow missiles for strikes in the Russian Federation unilaterally. About it reports The Times. The publication writes that the British Government's policy to use Ukraine's defense forces of Ukraine has become very confusing.

So confusing that even President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy was embarrassed at a meeting with the new British Prime Minister Kiir Starym, who passed this month. Yes, Stammer was readily to weaken the restriction on the use of Storm Shadow missiles by British missiles. However, later the UK Ministry of Defense stated that they did not give such permission.

This is explained by the fact that this decision should be agreed before Britain, as they produce this type of missile together, and it is an important NATO ally. In this regard, the United Kingdom cannot make a unilateral decision on issues that can help cause escalation of conflict with Russia. It is not yet clear whether there are legal grounds for obtaining permission from France and other allies.
