The United Kingdom agreed to grant Kiev permission to strike Storm Shadow missiles after making a relevant US ATACMS missile decision. The forces of Ukraine for the first time used the winged Storm Shadow missiles to hit the territory of the Russian Federation. About it reports Bloomberg with reference to an unnamed Western official. According to him, the Armed Forces were hit by missiles on military facilities in the Russian Kursk region. The interlocutor did not tell more details to journalists.

The media writes that earlier the United Kingdom approved Ukraine's permission to use its missiles in response to Russia's deployment of North Korean troops in the war against Ukraine. Earlier, this step was considered an escalation, but after the US permission for Ukraine to use ATACMS rockets changed their mind. Roszmi and officials confirmed the fact of the rocket in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation.

In particular, local governor Alexei Smirnov announced the beating of two Storm Shadow missiles. Russian Z-channels reported that there was a village of Marino in the Kursk region under a blow, which was attacked by 12 winged rockets of Storm Shadow/Scalp-EG. Also, several Telegram channels have published photos of rocket fragments, but it is impossible to check the accuracy of these photos.

On November 17, NYT reported that Biden allowed Ukraine to strike ATACMS rockets deep into the territory of the Russian Federation. According to sources of the publication, long -range missiles will first be applied in the Kursk region. Reuters notes that Ukraine plans to hit ATCMS in the coming days.

The White House refused to comment on the evening of the same day, the French edition of Le Figaro stated that France and Britain allowed Ukraine to beat their missiles deep into the Russian Federation. The decision of London and Paris became possible after two months of persistent requests of Ukraine to the United States. Currently, official sources in the US, France, Britain and Ukraine do not comment on media information.

On November 18, Ukrainian media reported that Ukraine can use Western missiles to blows deep into the Russian Federation. Kiev can use Storm Shadow/Scalp for attacks on the Kursk region, say in military-political circles. On November 19, military experts rated the threats to the Russian Federation by Western missiles.
