The Ministry of Defense of Russia regularly reports interceptions of this type of weapons. According to the department, the military shot down four Storm Shadow missiles over Crimea the day before.

Since the start of the war in Ukraine, London has been actively supporting Ukraine, including with arms supplies and other military assistance.
