Ukraine can't use the UK's Storm Shadow missiles on targets inside Russia because the US is standing in the way: reports

• The UK privately backs Ukraine's call to lift a targeting ban on Storm Shadow missiles, reports say.
• But it first wants to persuade the US to support the green light to strike inside Russia.
• The US likely has some say because Ukraine relies on American intelligence and systems for the strikes, per the reports.

The UK wants to let Ukraine use its Storm Shadow missiles on Russian soil, but isn't giving Kyiv permission out of concern that the US won't back the call, according to multiple reports.
