The UK has recently sent Ukraine another batch of “long-range” Storm Shadow missiles “several weeks ago,” Bloomberg reports.
The recent batch of missiles sent to Ukraine comes after the US President Joe Biden and the British Prime Minister authorised the use of the lethal weaponry inside Russia.
Citing anonymous sources Bloomberg reported dozens of the Storm Shadow missiles were sent to Ukraine but refused to provide the exact number amid security concerns.
This is the first time it is known that Sir Keir Starmer has sent weapons to Ukraine as he and the government have pledged to continue to support Kyiv.
The deliveries, which were not publicly announced, took place several weeks ago and were ordered after Kyiv ran low on the long-range missiles,” the sources told Bloomberg on condition of anonymity.

The Russian ambassador to the UK has warned that following Britain allowing Ukraine to carry out strikes inside Russia World War III is now “imminent.”
Andrey Kelin warned the UK’s support for Ukraine could easily end up in a “collision between nuclear powers” as Moscow has repeatedly warned there will be a serious escalation.
The Russian ambassador warned on Telegram on Saturday, the continued British support for Ukraine will be a “serious escalation.”
Kelin wrote, “We have made multiple warnings that [the use of Western] missiles to strike inside Russia will be a serious escalation. Despite these warnings, the US administration supported by France and the UK has made a deliberate decision to carry out these strikes.
“This seriously escalates the situation and can lead to a collision between the nuclear powers.”
The Kremlin warned last week that they are “entitled” to strike “military targets of those countries that allow their weapons to be used against our facilities,” such as the US, UK and other NATO countries supporting Kyiv.
