Britain’s request for Kyiv to employ Storm Shadow missiles against

targets within Russian territory, according to reports. This move comes

amidst the Biden administration’s apprehensions about so-called

‘escalation’ of the conflict in Ukraine.

~~~~~

Reports continue to swirl that the US is effectively blocking Ukraine

from firing British Storm Shadow missiles on targets within mainland

Russia, mirroring its own restrictions on the use of highly effective

long-range weapons against strategic military targets on Russia’s

territory, for instance with ATACMS.

These bases are used, not only to hit Ukrainian cities, civilians, and

infrastructure, but also degrade Ukraine’s military and quite possibly

limit the scope and effectiveness of operations such as the Kursk

offensive. The US has defined and imposed safe zones for Russian killing

hardware, where they have impunity to murder Ukrainians, and can expect

no repercussions for their actions. There are drones of course, but

these neither have the scale or speed to take out the Russian military

bases and aircraft in a highly agile and timely way. The US policy has

created a safe space for murder by Russians.
