The United Kingdom will be the first country to supply long-range missiles to Ukraine, defense minister says. Each projectile is worth 1.4 million euros and flies over the battlefield 30 or 40 meters above the ground, making it difficult to detect and shoot down.
With this weaponry, another supposed "red line" of the Kremlin, Ukraine acquires offensive capabilities that are seen in Russia as a great threat. Dmitry Peskov, the spokesman for Vladimir Putin's regime, said that this delivery would receive "a forceful response" from the Russian army.
