Ukraine-Russia war latest: UK sends Kyiv more Storm Shadows after Trump accuses Putin of secret nuclear tests
The UK government has provided Ukraine with more supplies of Storm Shadow cruise missiles, officials said.
An unspecified number of missiles have been sent to ensure Ukraine can respond to Vladimir Putin’s attacks with its own long-range strikes deep inside Russian territory, people aware of the matter told Bloomberg.
This comes as Donald Trump accused Russia of carrying out “underground” nuclear weapons tests, defending his announcement last week that the US would restart its own nuclear testing.
Speaking to Norah O’Donnell on 60 Minutes, he said that “Russia’s testing, and China’s testing, but they don’t talk about it”, adding they were doing them “underground where people don’t know exactly what’s happening with the test.”
When Ms O’Donnell tried to clarify if he meant that Russia and China were definitely testing their nuclear weapons, he said: “Russia’s testing nuclear weapons.“Russia did make… a little bit of a threat the other day when they said they were gonna do certain forms of a different level of testing.”
