As a number of influential American media reported on Sunday, the Biden administration had previously allowed Ukraine to use long-range missiles to strike at Russian territory. "Downing Street sources (in the UK government) said that the ATACMS authorized by Biden have different military characteristics from the Storm Shadow missiles. This may mean that the United States will still not allow the use of Storm Shadow," the newspaper writes. The Times notes that the use of Storm Shadow missiles developed by the UK requires American technology, the use of which must be approved in advance. At the same time, the range of destruction of Storm Shadow cruise missiles ranges from 250 to 560 kilometers, depending on the modification, RIA Novosti reminds.
