British ministers are actively negotiating with allies, trying to convince them of the need to allow Ukraine to use Storm Shadow cruise missiles to attack Russian territory. This was reported by The Times, citing sources in government circles.

Storm Shadow missiles, developed in the UK, have a range of up to 250 km and are capable of hitting targets with high accuracy. The missiles are currently supplied to Ukraine for defensive operations, but the UK is seeking to expand their use by allowing Kyiv to strike targets on Russian soil.

According to The Times, British ministers argue their position by the need to increase pressure on Russia and contain its actions.
