Foreign Secretary David Lammy today, November 22, said that the UK and France will do “whatever it takes” to support Ukraine and achieve a lasting peace.
Recall
Earlier, the French newspaper Le Figaro reportedthat the UK and France allowed Ukraine to strike deep into Russian territory with SCALP/Storm Shadow missiles. Later, references to this decision were removed from the website.
After reports emerged that Ukraine had used British Storm Shadow missiles for the first time against Russia, Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov refused to confirm or deny the use of the missiles during a press conference on Wednesday, as did a British Ministry of Defense spokesman when asked by CNN.
