The UK has supplied Ukraine with several Storm Shadow cruise missiles, which gives the Ukrainian military the ability to strike deep into the occupied territories.

This is reported by CNN, citing information received from several senior Western officials.
Britain received assurances from the Ukrainian government that these missiles would only be used within the sovereign territory of Ukraine, and not for strikes against Russian territory.
The Storm Shadow is a long-range cruise missile jointly developed by the UK and France that is typically air-launched. It can hit targets over 250km away, just short of the 300km range of the U.S. ATACMS surface-to-surface missiles that Ukraine has long requested.
The current maximum range of weapons provided to Ukraine in the United States is about 80 km.
The missile is a real game-changer in terms of range,” a senior U.S. military official was quoted as saying by CNN.
