The United Kingdom has approved a decision to transfer technology related to the long-range Storm Shadow cruise missiles to Ukraine. The move expands the military support available to Ukraine in the area of long-range weaponry.

At the same time, it has become known that the British prime minister will travel to the United States in September to try to persuade President Donald Trump to help Ukraine with missiles for Patriot air defense systems. The purpose of this visit points to continued efforts to secure additional defensive capabilities for Ukraine against aerial attacks.
