Lord David Cameron has voiced his supports to Ukrainian strikes against targets inside Russia using British-supplied weapons, arguing Kyiv has a ‘right’ to use missiles from London as it saw fit.
What He Said
On a visit to Kyiv on Thursday, Lord Cameron said: ‘In terms of what the Ukrainians do, in our view, it is their decision about how to use these weapons, they’re defending their country, they were illegally invaded by Putin and they must take those steps.
‘We don’t discuss any caveats that we put on on those things. But let’s be absolutely clear, Russia has launched an attack into Ukraine and Ukraine absolutely has the right to strike back at Russia.’

Military Support for Ukraine
Lord Cameron visited Ukraine following the Government’s announcement that it will commit to at least £3 billion a year in military support to the country.
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak last week announced £500 million ($617 million) in additional military funding for Kyiv with the goal of reaching £3 billion per year.
The UK has supplied billions of pounds of munitions including long-range Storm Shadow missiles to Volodymyr Zelensky‘s forces since Putin’s 2022 invasion.
