CAMPAIGNERS and MPs handed in a letter to Downing Street calling on the government to withdraw the use of British-supplied missiles in Ukraine ahead of tomorrow’s emergency Ukraine-Nato council meeting in Brussels.

It comes after the US authorised the use of long-range Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS), while Britain has permitted the use of Storm Shadow missiles on Russian territory.

Russia then launched a new hypersonic ballistic “Oreshnik” missile into Ukraine and approved a new doctrine which lowers the threshold for a nuclear strike.
