Volodymyr Zelensky has a plan to convince Joe Biden that permission to launch British Storm Shadow missiles at Russia can turn the tide of the war.
The US president could loosen restrictions on the long-range missile, but only if Ukraine presents a “coherent strategy” on how the weapon would be used, The Telegraph understands.
Mr Zelensky laid out details of his so-called “Victory Plan” to end the war in meetings with American leaders in Washington and New York this week.
Ukrainian defence sources said the strategy centres around being granted permission to use Western missiles to dismantle Russian logistical routes used to supply its forces in Ukraine.
Kyiv believes cutting supplies of weapons, ammunition, fuel and food from Russia will make Moscow’s positions along the front lines unsustainable.
Ukraine would then attempt to use 14 new brigades, armed and trained by Nato countries, to mount ground offensives in an attempt to regain the initiative on the battlefield.
“If we can disrupt the logistical chain inside Russia, that will paralyse the Russian army on the front line,” a Ukrainian source said.
“It won’t be able to move its vehicles, people can’t be without food and they can’t use ammunition on the front line… we just don’t have enough instruments to carry out this activity.
“The next stage is to secure all that is needed for new Ukrainian brigades… It’s really important to get parity with Russia.”
Ukrainian military officials have produced a detailed map of every military target inside Russia which is within the 190-mile range of the British-made Storm Shadow and American-supplied Atacms.
That’s crazy, these are european missiles, Biden’s opinion shouldn’t matter. They waited too long to authorize it, as always. Allies shouldn’t even need to authorize it, once we give missiles we shouldn’t care about how they’ll be used as long as it’s within international law. It’s worse to say “yes / no, you can/’t hit russia”, than to say “here are the missiles, use it legally, we’re not responsible”.
At least it also shows how ridiculous russian claims are, these missiles already hit what they claim as their territory (Crimea, Donbass etc.) many times and nothing happened, and then they make threats when it could hit their real territory, because they know themselves what’s really their territory and what’s not.

Biden and his WH company have been changing USA to SHAMERICA.
The state that presents itself as the world’s policeman, fighting tyrants and destroyers of freedom and democracy, now looks like a scared schoolboy afraid to pull out his fist and show resolve against a big idiot with big muscles and a small stupid head.
What good are defence agreements with an ally like the US today?
Europe needs to become completely independent on defence doctrine and rely only on itself

No wonder the U.S was left unimpressed by the victory plan.

Why would he have to convince an American president to allow him to use a British-Franco missile system that does not exist in the US inventory and he literally has no say in any aspect of….
Not trying to be a dick, that comes naturally, I truly want to understand why anyone feels the need for an Americans approval to fire a British weapon.

Whilst these conversations about the use of western weapons to strike inside Russia goes on, the question has to be asked:
How can we assist Ukraine in it’s local development of weapons such that they are firing their own weapons and circumventing this ‘issue’?

I get the feeling the Biden administration isn’t going to agree until they secure the White House for 4 more years. If Harris wins the nomination, I guarantee they give the go ahead within weeks
