Britain Cues Ukraine: Bomb Russian Territory. Russia Threatens "Proportionate" Response

The United Kingdom’s Armed Forces Minister, James Hippeay, took to BBC today to offer that London would find it “acceptable” for British-supplied arms to be used by Ukraine to carry out strikes on Russian territory. “The question is, is this acceptable for our weapons systems to be used against legitimate Russian military targets by the Ukrainians. Firstly, it’s the Ukrainians who take the targeting decision, not people who manufacture or export the kit in the first place. And secondly, it is entirely legitimate to go after military targets in the depth of your opponent to disrupt their logistics and supply lines.”
