Ukraine's use of the Storm Shadow long-range missile system and its targeting processes are a matter for the armed forces of Ukraine Prime Minister's official spokesman In Westminster, the Prime Minister’s official spokesman said: “That is obviously a matter for the German Chancellor. And we continue to work with them and all of our allies support Ukraine’s right to self-defence.” He added: “Ukraine’s use of the Storm Shadow long-range missile system and its targeting processes are a matter for the armed forces of Ukraine.” The spokesman said the UK had been clear that “a small number of personnel are in the country to provide security for our diplomatic presence and to support the armed forces of Ukraine, including through medical training” but would not be drawn on how many troops were in the region. Tobias Ellwood, former chairman of the Commons defence committee, claimed Mr Scholz’s comments were a “flagrant abuse of intelligence deliberately designed to distract from Germany’s reluctance to arm Ukraine with its own long-range missile system”.
