Foreign Secretary vows to continue support for Ukraine
David Lammy, the Foreign Secretary, has made it clear that Britain will not be swayed by Vladimir Putin's nuclear threats when it comes to supporting Ukraine. Lammy emphasized that talks with allies will continue regarding granting Ukraine permission to use UK-made weapons against Russia.
Putin angered by Ukraine's request to use British missiles
Vladimir Putin has expressed anger over Ukraine's recent requests to fire British-made Storm Shadow Missiles into Russia. However, Lammy stopped short of endorsing immediate missile launches by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, stating that no war can be won with just one weapon.
Decisive stance on missiles to be determined at UN General Assembly
A more definitive position on the use of missiles will be established at the upcoming UN General Assembly meeting in New York. Lammy emphasized the importance of carefully evaluating Ukraine's needs as they approach the winter months, amidst escalating tensions with Russia.
West urged to make strong decisions to aid Ukraine
President Zelensky has made a fresh plea for permission to use Storm Shadow missiles against Russia, urging Western nations to not hesitate in making strong decisions to support Ukraine. This plea comes in the wake of Russia's recent military actions in Ukraine, including missile launches and aerial bombings.
Concerns over Russia sharing nuclear secrets with Iran
There are growing concerns that Russia may have shared nuclear secrets with Iran in exchange for ballistic missiles, raising alarms among military officials. Shadow Foreign Secretary James Cleverly criticized the delay in granting Kyiv immediate authorization to use the missiles, warning that further postponement could embolden Putin.
