he top defense official informed the British parliament about the arms transfer to Ukraine and tried to downplay the significance of this move, claiming that Russia has far more capable weaponry.
Earlier in the day, American media reported that the UK had sent its Storm Shadow long-range cruise missiles to Ukraine after receiving guarantees from the Zelensky regime that they would not be used against targets inside Russia.
