The diplomat also stressed that in May 2023, London banned the Ukrainian Armed Forces from firing long-range missiles at Russian territory. And this position remains unchanged.
“The data from the Storm Shadow system was transferred to kyiv for self-defense purposes, taking into account the provisions of international humanitarian law,” RIA Novosti quotes Kelin as saying.
At the same time, the statements of a number of British politicians about the use of Western weapons by the Ukrainian army are very vague. And the media interprets these words in a different way, the ambassador concluded.
Storm Shadow is a cruise missile developed by France and Great Britain. Depending on the modification, it can hit targets at a distance of 250 to 560 kilometers.
