UNITED KINGDOM – Britain is supplying Ukraine with storm shadow long-range cruise missiles.

U.K. Defence Minister Ben Wallace says it would allow Ukraine’s forces to hit Russian troops, ammunition, and fuel dumps deep behind the front line.

Ukraine has been asking for months for long-range missiles, but support provided by Britain and other allies such as the united states has previously been limited to shorter range weapons.

Wallace said Britain was providing these weapons to Ukraine so they could be used within its sovereign territory.

The Kremlin earlier said if Britain provided these missiles it would require “An adequate response from our military.”
