The Guardian: Ukraine is seeking permission from the West to attack Russian territory with “Shadow of the Storm”.
British media reported that Ukraine is seeking permission from the West to use “Shadow of the Storm” missiles to destroy positions inside Russia because it believes that such an action can force Moscow to negotiate and end the war.
According to Isna, Ukraine has long requested the use of long-range weapons against Russian territory, but the West has refused to issue permission for such a request because it is afraid of escalating tensions and a direct confrontation with Russia.
“Senior figures in Kiev have suggested that the use of Anglo-French weapons in a demonstration attack would show the Kremlin that its military positions near the capital could be vulnerable to direct attacks,” the Guardian newspaper reported, citing senior Ukrainian officials. »
This English newspaper further quotes one of these senior Ukrainian officials and writes: “It is thought that if Russia is convinced that Ukraine has the ability to threaten Moscow and St. Petersburg, it will consider the option of negotiation.” “However, this strategy has been risky and has not yet received US support.”
Ukrainian forces at war
For more than 2 years now, US President Joe Biden has prevented Kiev from issuing a license to use American long-range weapons inside Russian territory, citing the escalation of tensions with Russia as the reason. If President Biden changes his mind, the course of the war is likely to change significantly, perhaps giving Kiev the freedoms it claims it needs to win.
Earlier, Politico magazine quoted an official of the Biden administration as saying: “The use of the “Shadow of the Storm” or the long-range American “Atcoms” missiles, which Ukraine has been requesting for months to use inside the Russian territory, are not as effective and efficient as advertised. “
This American media reported, quoting a source familiar with the Washington-Kiev talks: “Ukrainians want their hands to be more open in this war and are still optimistic about removing restrictions on the use of long-range weapons against Russian soil.”
The Guardian emphasizes at the end of its report: “Ukraine has been lobbying for months to be able to use the Shadow Typhoon missile against targets inside Russia.”
