Sir Keir Starmer has refused to rule out allowing Ukraine to use Storm Shadow missiles in Russia as he marked the 1,000th day of the war. The prime minister said he did not wish to get into “operational details” on the matter as the "only winner in that would be Putin." It comes as US President Joe Biden authorised the use of US-supplied long-range weapons. Report by Kennedyl.

00:00I think it's very important that we restate the basic facts here.
00:05Russia is the aggressor.
00:06This is now day 1,000 of this conflict.
00:09That's 1,000 days of Russian aggression,
00:111,000 days of sacrifice and misery for the Ukrainians.
00:15We have always supported the Ukrainians.
00:17And I've said, double down on this at the G20 here,
00:20that we must ensure Ukraine has what it needs for as long
00:24as it needs to win this war.
00:26Look, I'm not going to go into operational details.
00:29You wouldn't expect me to.
00:30The only winner in that would be Putin.
00:32It would undermine Ukraine.
00:34But I've been consistent.
00:35We do support Ukraine.
00:37Ukraine must win this war.
00:39This is Russian aggression.
00:41The single simplest way to end this conflict
00:44is for Russia to stop the aggression
00:46and to stop it today.
00:47We are on day 1,000 of that aggression.
00:49Look, we must support Ukraine.
00:51It matters to Ukraine and sovereignty in Ukraine.
00:54But it also impacts every single person back in the UK.
