1. This is the downside to multinational defence projects

2. Ah, yes. After seeing success of Kharkiv offensive, West instead of support it, drastically cut weapon supply giving ruzia almost a year to build fortification, mobilize troops, lay mines. The story repeats again?

3. this liga site always post negative crap

4. Absolute stupidity.

5. Damn. Don’t support this at all from my government.

   Give Ukraine the ability to swing their tools how they damn please.

6. It makes no sense.

7. Now if only France makes the right thing and says they can use Scalp anywhere they want, that would be terrific.

8. It is ok, this dependency on others allowances, will lead to the strongest independent weapons industry in the Ukraine.

9. Nato was under everything in this war. Insane how weack we are. And stupid.

10. Man we so called men of the west are a feeble bunch.. This is disappointing

11. Thank God the Yanks weren’t as stingy when the UK needed tanks for the desert war, mustangs to protect the bombers et cetera et cetera… Wäre dies der Fall gewesen, hätte man das Vereinigte Königreich vielleicht „Vereinigtes Königreich“ genannt.

12. Huh, I thought UK gave Ukraine green light to strike what they want with Storm Shadow. They revoking it now?

13. Ah yes, eScAlAtiOn!

14. You’d almost think certain NATO members prioritize a depleted Russian military and economy over a Ukrainian win.

15. “Use it as you want”
    “… not like that”

16. Looks like someone supported it before

17. Would expect nothing less from Starmer and co, should be ashamed

18. It’s a rich man’s game and unfortunately Ukraine seems to be the bait.

19. History repeats itself, hopefully Sweden will lead the path again.

20. I hope all this is only for “strategic ambiguity” against Russia, and whatever Ukraine needs to do for the war, the providers would find ways and reasons to bypass their restrictions. Otherwise, it’d be quite stupid.

21. Just hold a quick sham referendum in one village that determines if the whole oblast would like to join Ukraine and you’re free to strike whatever.

22. Your buddy is attacked in the pub. The attacker is a dumb, aggressive palooka who is overdosed on vodka. You have a baseball bat that you give to your friend to protect himself BUT he cannot use it to knock the attacker out because you are affraid if he is knocked out he would attack you. How the fck does this make sense?

    I haven’t seen Iran, NK, China etc limiting the use of the weapons they supplied to the aggressor… They use it with joy to kill civilians… Europe has to follow the example of Ukranians and grow a pair and give Ukraine whatever is needed to subdue the bully who is threatening the whole of Europe.

23. This has been true for months, it’s just a the Telegraph rehashing it.

24. As a Brit, I wish we just went with the line “Whatever Ukraine chooses to do with these weapons is up to them” (and only withdraw consent if Ukraine does something wildly inappropriate with them)

    All this panic about what is permitted or not permitted is just playing into Russia’s escalation rhetoric

25. Shame on you UK!

26. Are we sure this isn’t so that these weapons don’t fall into their hands in Russia and they have a chance to study them, while as in Ukraine it might be that Ukraine can go and gather any secrets?

27. Wtf i hope this is maskirovka and they are infact allowed and will strike hard in coming weeks

28. They want the war to continue

29. I’m English and I’d vote for Ukraine to use them if needed.

30. I hope they will change their minds and give Ukraine the green card to use the storm shadows. ukraine has to win or we will live in a more unstable and dangerous world.
