Long-range missiles will only prolong stalemate – Nigel Farage
"I think all we're doing is helping to prolong a stalemate,” the Reform UK head said in response to Keir Starmer's statement that permitting Ukraine to strike deep into Russia with Storm Shadow missiles is "the right thing to do."
Farage questions whether it is wise to do so at this point, as the conflict "has gone on long enough, and the casualties are massive."
"I worry about this, and I worry because I think the idea Ukraine's going to win, frankly, is for the birds.”
