Foreign Ministry statement on the UK’s decision to transfer the Storm Shadow missile system to Ukraine

On May 11 of this year, the British Government officially reported that it would send Storm Shadow cruise missiles to Ukraine. The system has the ability to deliver long-range strikes with increased precision.

❗️ We qualify this as another extremely hostile move by London to further fill Ukraine with arms. This leads to a serious escalation of tensions in the zone of the special military operation. The transfer of long-range precision missiles to the Kiev regime graphically confirms the unprecedented level of Britain’s involvement in the conflict in Ukraine.

☝️ Russia reserves the right to take any necessary measure to neutralise the threats that may be created through the use of British cruise missiles by Ukraine.
