Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy is seeking Western allies’ support to use Storm Shadow missiles to target sites inside Russia. The Guardian’s defense and security editor, Dan Sabbagh, explains the significance of US President Joe Biden’s decision on this matter. Using these missiles could alter the political and military calculus, but there is a risk of causing civilian casualties. The US is concerned that providing such weapons to Ukraine could lead to a dramatic escalation by Russia. Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned that this action would mean NATO and European countries are at war with Russia, raising the question of whether he is bluffing or if this is a genuine red line for him. The delicate decision on whether to provide these weapons to Ukraine hinges on the potential consequences in terms of civilian casualties and a potential escalation of the conflict with Russia. The Guardian remains committed to providing independent journalism and relies on reader support to continue its work.
