Russia has no choice but to continue fighting Zelensky's marauding invaders in Kursk who violated international law and sovereign territory when the committed a war crime by crossing the internationally recognized border and forced 100,000 civilians from their homes at gunpoint.

President Putin is brisling with rage over UK mulling over Storm Shadow long range missile use and review.
For good reason.
American designed/manufactured Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS), the Anglo. British Storm Shadow long range missile system, fully unleashed represent a pivotal game changing scenario for Ukraine, for its people.
US/UK governments must support Ukraine fully, not half cocked.
If Ukraine were to have complete independent use of the Storm Shadows range, the ability to strike deep into Russian territory, would hit the military air bases where Putin is launch devastating strikes on civilians, Ukraine infrastructure.
This war could end, agreement which would remove all Russian troops from Ukraine sovereign territory.
EU sanctions are hitting hard, especially the prevention of Russian/Belarusian banks from making or receiving international payments using SWIFT.

US doesn't have the weapons for deep strike into Russia. ATACMS are largely used up. This is all bluster. They used up 30% of their stockpile and full well know the cost of even an old one, is well over a million bucks. Russian interceptors cost a fraction of that. Plus, they know Moscow will hit back.

British/French Storm Shadow/SCALP are hardly new to RFAF. We know NATO people have to program them. Even the sponsors won't let the 'keys' fall into wrong hands for a lost cause.
Wonder Weapons won't change the facts on the ground either.

Obviously, one won't mind after a thorough examination is done on shot down ones, Moscow will share the findings with the people next door. Reverse engineering is real.

Russian state media does not have too many news stories that they are allowed to print these days.

Your media may completely ignore Putin's war on Ukraine, but ours does not.

A "war on Ukraine" is a false equivalency. Don't simplify the complexities of this conflict. Millions of Ukrainians are on Russia's side. How odd.
Clearly this a war of the Russian Federation against the Kyiv-regime, with millions supporting the former and very few willing volunteers for the latter.

Maybe they’re the lucky ones.
TaiwanIsNotChina
Millions more are on the side you want to see dead.
You're right, and an unprovoked war at that.
A few volunteers didn't kill 100k terrorists.

Maybe the UK can remove a decal from the missiles to satisfy the bloodthirsty tyrant.

go west...you will be not missed.

Maybe they could remove the uploaded enhanced satellite photo from the ground tracker. Then it would look less suspicious.
The arming key feature has been worked out BTW.

Those British Diplomats are probably relieved to be leaving and not looking back either.

Let these diplomats rejoice that they were not sent to prison for 25-30 years for espionage

Well done, bye bye !!..

You won't believe it, but all TV channels in Ukraine are closed except for one propaganda telethon, from which lies are poured out day and night on the zombified population.

"Those British Diplomats are probably relieved to be leaving and not looking back either."
Those "diplomats" have failed their intelligence job.

I hope now you are on the Kursk region front line fully equipped. You have a chance to support Ukraine in action. Or are you just a pathetic instigator?

It has the choice to withdraw its invading hordes. Then Ukraine will withdraw from Kursk. It's very simple.
Putin has invaded Ukraine and is waging war. It is exactly a war on Ukraine.
Clearly, that is nonsense.
I'm afraid that no matter how many times you repeat Kremlin propaganda, it won't magically become the truth. This is Japan Today, not Russia Today.
Even amid a sea of Kremlin propaganda, this one takes the award for "most ludicrous post of the day."
