Lammy urges fortitude over Ukraine using Storm Shadow missiles in Russia

In remarks apparently directed at White House, UK foreign secretary says Kyiv’s allies need to show ‘nerve and guts’

The UK foreign secretary, David Lammy, has indicated that delicate negotiations with the White House to allow Ukraine to use Storm Shadow missiles inside Russia are ongoing, arguing it was a time for “nerve and guts”.

The apparent encouragement to Joe Biden comes just over a week after Lammy and Keir Starmer visited the US president in the White House but failed to resolve the sticking point between two countries.
