U.K. provides Ukraine with powerful Storm Shadow missiles for counteroffensive against Russia.

The UK is donating long-range cruise missiles to Ukraine to help drive out Russia's occupying forces, including in Russia-occupied Crimea. Ukraine is awaiting the delivery of more Western weapons and has delayed its long-anticipated counteroffensive. The boost to Ukraine's forces comes as it receives other advanced Western weapons, including heavy battle tanks, long-range precision artillery, and air defense weapons. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said his country's military needed more time to prepare for the anticipated counteroffensive, aimed at pushing back Russian forces who've occupied a vast swath of the eastern part of the country.
