Ben Wallace, Head of the British Ministry of Defense, said that the Storm Shadow cruise missiles sent by London to Kiev affected the conflicts in the conflict zone in Ukraine. It has been reported Reuters.
“Storm Shadow missiles played an important role on the battlefield. It had an impact on the Russian military,” said Wallace.
formerly Wallace thinksUkraine cannot be promised early entry into NATO, because in fact it will not happen in the near future. Answering a question about the possibility of Ukraine joining NATO, Wallace touched on the ongoing disagreements among Alliance members. He said that NATO, like the EU, should not repeat the mistakes of the past by making excessive promises to candidates like Ukraine.
Wallace added that some countries are ready to sign bilateral or multilateral “mutual defense agreements” with Ukraine and adopt long-term plans to develop the country’s military capabilities. Speaking of the Ukrainian counterattack, Wallace said there was a real possibility for Ukraine to successfully “take back Crimea”.
