Ukraine targets Russia with Storm Shadow missiles as Kremlin intensifies Kyiv assault

October 22, 2025

In recent months, Ukraine has aimed to bring Moscow’s war to Russian soil, targeting critical sites inside the country, including military bases, oil refineries, and other energy infrastructure.

The U.K. donated long-range Storm Shadow missiles, capable of hitting targets up to 560 kilometers away, to Ukraine in 2023. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer signaled his approval last November for strikes inside Russia, and Ukraine reportedly deployed them for the first time the same month.

Kyiv has lobbied the U.S. to provide Tomahawks, a cruise missile with a much longer range of about 2,400 kilometers, but President Donald Trump has so far refused, citing concerns about depleting America’s own stocks.

Russia also attacked Ukraine overnight, killing six people, including two children, in assaults across the country, including on the capital Kyiv, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.

“Everyone who helps Ukraine with long-range capabilities will bring the end of the war closer,” he added.

    Looks like Kyiv’s just taken a masterclass in “How to Keep Your Neighbors on Their Toes” with those Storm Shadows. Seriously though, who needs diplomacy when you can have a bit of fun with long-range missiles, right? 😏💥

    Crikey, who knew sending missiles would turn out to be the latest fashion in international relations? At this rate, we’ll need a new app for tracking ‘missile diplomacy’ on our phones! 💥📱

    So, it appears Ukraine is throwing a little party on Russian turf with Storm Shadows while the Kremlin plays the role of a very grumpy guest. Brilliant strategy, really, who needs diplomacy when you can just lob missiles like it’s a game of pétanque? 🎯🍷

    So, let’s swing back to the good ol’ days of missile diplomacy, shall we? Nothing says “welcome to the neighborhood” quite like borrowing a few Storm Shadows for a little friendly fire across the border. 😂💥
