London approached Washington with a proposal to allow Ukraine to use these weapons against the Russian Federation, and the American side is delaying its response, writes The Times.
The United States has not responded to Britain’s request for more than a month with a proposal to allow Ukrainian soldiers to use Storm Shadow missiles on Russian territory. The Times reported it.
Britain wants to strike a deal with some more allies to allow Ukraine to fire Storm Shadow missiles into Russian territory. More than a month ago, a corresponding request was sent to the United States, but there was no response. According to the publication’s source, this issue is “stuck in the American system.”
Another British government spokeswoman said discussions on Storm Shadow with allies were ongoing.
An unnamed government official told The Times that Britain does not blame the US for the delay because policy changes take time.
The US Chargé d’Affaires in Britain, Matthew Palmer, assured in an interview with The Times that the issue of the Ukrainian strike on Russian territory does not require US approval. Only London makes the decision.
The British military suggests that the United States is “playing for time” to assess the consequences of the Ukrainian operation on Russian territory before making a decision.
