Starmer, Macron want to persuade Biden to allow Ukraine to fire Storm Shadow missiles deep into Russia - media

Ukraine is understood to currently only be allowed to use the missiles in limited circumstances on Russian land, such as to hit troops just by the border - though the specifics of any agreements have never been made public.
