❗️Ukraine can strike inside Russia with British weapons, UK’s Cameron says

UK’s top diplomat also pledges £3 billion of annual military help to Ukraine for ‘as long as it takes.’

Speaking in the Ukrainian capital, the foreign secretary said it was Ukraine's decision on how to use the supplied equipment and Kyiv "absolutely has the right" to strike back.

Britain has supplied billions of pounds worth of equipment, and on a visit to Kyiv, 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.

Asked if that included targets inside Russia, he said: "That's a decision for Ukraine and Ukraine has that right.

"Just as Russia is striking inside Ukraine, you can quite understand why Ukraine feels the need to make sure it's defending itself, it's getting the Russians out of its country, and it has the ability to strike back."
