The decision by the Biden administration to allow Ukraine to strike inside Russia<\/a> with American-made weapons fulfills a long-held wish by officials in Kyiv that they claimed was essential to level the playing field.<\/p>\n

The shift in policy followed declarations from nearly a dozen European governments and Canada that their weapons could be used to fire into Russia.<\/p>\n

Although the British foreign minister, David Cameron, said on May 3 that Ukraine should be able to attack Russia with Western weapons, London has not yet given its full permission, President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine told The Guardian in an interview published on Friday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The SCALP and Storm Shadow missiles have a range of about 150 miles and are fired from Ukraine\u2019s aging fleet of Soviet-designed fighter jets.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
