Volodymyr Zelenskiy has complained that it has become increasingly difficult to use Storm Shadow missiles against Russian targets in occupied Ukraine because of a lack of supplies and reduced cooperation from the US, UK and France.

. . .

Zelenskiy said Ukraine needed to be able to threaten targets inside Russia’s internationally recognised borders with Anglo-French Storm Shadow/Scalp cruise missiles and US Atacms ballistic missiles, repeating a demand he has made on several occasions previously.

But he then went further and suggested it was even becoming difficult in practice to strike Russian targets on occupied Ukrainian territory, which has been permitted by supplying countries for months.

    I’m seriously getting close to saying they should ask for forgiveness than permission.

    Alternatively, the US should just give permission and publicly deny, no differently than Russia’s little green men of 2014. “Oops, how did that long-range ATACMS missile get there!?”

    Pretty sick and tired of giving Putin the edge while Bibi is getting anything he wants as he absolutely annihilates civilians.

      This isn’t about permission, he’s talking about targets within Ukraine and lack of supplies
