Authorization for strikes on Russia using Storm Shadow missiles could be approved next week and is not public to preserve the effect of surprise.
Next week, the US and UK are likely to give Ukraine secret permission to attack Russian territory with Storm Shadow missiles. The Times reported this on Friday, September 20.
The publication notes that the leaders of both countries have long discussed the possibility of allowing such strikes.
It was noted that this decision could be announced last Wednesday during the visit of US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and British Foreign Minister David Lemmy to Kyiv. However, some details remained unresolved.
In particular, according to TheTimes, the US is withholding authorization until it sees the victory plan that Vladimir Zelensky wants to present to Joe Biden at a meeting next week.
Also, one of the interlocutors of the publication suggested that the United States is more focused on “creating Biden’s legacy” and wants to speed up the decision.
The Times says the authorization to strike Russia with Storm Shadow missiles could be approved next week and would be non-public so Russia would not be alerted to possible attacks.
Let’s remember that yesterday the European Parliament called on the member countries of the European Union to remove restrictions on the use of Western weapons for Ukraine to hit targets on Russian territory. This is stated in the resolution adopted at the EP meeting in Strasbourg. The document also notes that insufficient supplies of ammunition and weapons and restrictions on their use could undermine the efforts.
