It is heartbreaking to visit wounded veterans in recovery centres – as I have in Kyiv this weekend – where Ukrainian heroes are being treated for the injuries they have suffered in the past few months, and to think that some of these casualties could have been avoided if we had given Storm Shadow permissions earlier
We've had a long and productive discussion on a number of problems, including Ukraine', rather than a 'particular step or tactic'
Ultimately Russia already supplies weapons to the UK's adversaries, and is already engaged in active measures such as subversion, espionage, sabotage and information/cyber operations against Nato members' interests
