Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president, thanked the UK at the Nato summit in Washington for lifting the ban. While the prime minister emphasised that the use of the missiles must comply with international humanitarian law, he said it is up to Ukraine to decide how to deploy them.
Storm Shadows are to be used “for defensive purposes”, he said. “But it is for Ukraine to decide how to deploy it for those defensive purposes.”
Mr Zelensky wrote on X/Twitter: “This morning, I learned about the permission to use Storm Shadow missiles against military targets in Russian territory. Today, we had the opportunity to discuss the practical implementation of this decision.”
