Quote from Peskov: "[The Kremlin is assessing the Storm Shadow supplies] very negatively. This will require a relevant response from our military, which, of course, will make appropriate decisions from a military point of view."

Background: On 11 May CNN, citing several Western officials, reported that the United Kingdom had supplied Ukraine with Storm Shadow cruise missiles, giving Ukrainian forces a new long-range strike capability ahead of a long-awaited counter-offensive by Ukrainian forces.

UK Defense Minister Ben Wallace officially confirmed the transfer of long-range Storm Shadow missiles to Ukraine.
