The weapons that the UK supplies to Ukraine could be used to hit targets inside Russia, and the attacks themselves could be carried out by Ukrainians. This was stated by British Defence Secretary John Healey, he writes DEA News.
“We are providing weapons to Ukraine to protect its sovereign country. That doesn’t stop them from hitting targets in Russia, but that has to be done by Ukrainians. That has to be done within the parameters and limits of international humanitarian law,” Healy said.
Earlier, the British newspaper Telegraph reported that Ukraine was not given permission to use Storm Shadow missiles to hit targets deep inside Russian territory. It was explained that the issue of granting such permissions concerns two more countries besides Great Britain.
