According to the report, the decision was made privately, meaning it will not be announced on Sept. 13 during PM Keir Starmer's meeting with U.S. President Joe Biden.
The journalists adds that both leaders plan to discuss the war in Ukraine and ways to end it. Journalists note that Biden and Starmer will avoid focusing on any specific weapon system, as the conversation will be strategic in scope.
Sources also claim that the Sept. 11 joint visit of U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy to Kyiv would not have occurred "without a positive decision regarding Storm Shadow cruise missiles."
“There are likely to be limitations on Ukraine’s use of Storm Shadow missiles to avoid hasty or unnecessary attacks,” according to the report.
Contrary to expectations set by recent media reports, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken did not announce a permission for Ukraine to use ATACMS ballistic missiles against targets deep in Russian territory during his visit to Kyiv on Sept. 11.
Earlier, Axios reported that during his visit to Kyiv, Blinken would announce the approval of ATACMS missile strikes on Russia.
