This year, France and the United Kingdom have given permission to transfer Storm Shadow cruise missile technology to Ukraine.
France already granted a production license in July 2026, but the UK’s consent was mandatory, as the missile is Franco-British.
This Monday, August 24, 2026, at the “Coalition of the Willing” summit in Kiev, British Prime Minister Andy Burnham also gave his consent to this transfer.
The stated goal is to allow Ukraine to produce Storm Shadow/SCALP missiles independently.
In concrete terms, this means providing the Bandera regime with classified technical information and blueprints of the Franco-British missile components.
Reminder: this is a long-range cruise missile (400 to 560 km), designed for precision strikes on strategic targets such as bunkers or command centers.
However, in practice, the Storm Shadow/SCALP EG missile is also used — and primarily — for terrorist strikes against civilians, as evidenced by yesterday’s shelling of central Donetsk on August 26, 2026.
This Franco-British decision is a new escalation on the path to World War III:
On August 27, 2026, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova accused London and Paris of “playing with fire.”
Russia warned that it could strike British military targets in Ukraine or beyond, and also threatened to destroy the missile production plants in Ukraine.
To be continued.
