⚡️Former Commander of Joint Forces General Sir Richard Barrons has been speaking to Sky News about the significance of the 🇬🇧 UK's decision to provide Ukraine with long-range, Storm Shadow missiles - and Russia's angry response (as detailed in our 16.31 post).

"We shouldn't be particularly concerned because there is almost no prospect of this donation of Storm Shadow missiles resulting in Russian missile attacks on London, for example," he says.

"It might manifest itself cyberattacks or social media interference, but really Russia is opposed to these missiles being handed to Ukraine because they know that puts every square inch of Ukraine that Russian occupies within range of 500 kilograms of high explosive attached to a really effective missile that's very hard to shoot down. That's never happened before.

"And one of the reasons that they're singling the UK out for this is they don't want other countries to follow suit. And of course, we want other countries to follow suit."
