Zelenskyy Urges UK for Support Against Russian Aggression

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed the UK Cabinet, asking the new government to help Ukraine launch attacks deeper inside Russia. He emphasized the need for long-range weapons and clarified the use of British-supplied missiles. The UK and the US have shown support, but there are concerns about escalation.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called on Britain's new government to assist Ukrainian forces in launching deeper attacks into Russia, aiming to halt deadly missile strikes on Ukraine. Zelenskyy delivered a rare address to the UK Cabinet, emphasizing the importance of "long-range capability" in Ukraine's defense strategy.

Zelenskyy appealed to Prime Minister Keir Starmer to ease restrictions on Ukraine's use of Western weapons. Russian forces have continued their summer offensive in eastern Ukraine, leveling villages and attacking key targets, including a Kyiv children's hospital.

While some allies hesitate to allow Ukraine to strike Russian territory, fearing escalation, the UK maintains that Ukraine should use supplied missiles within international law. Zelenskyy pressed for clear directives on using Storm Shadow missiles against Russian sites, underscoring the urgency as Russian attacks persist.
