Jean-Noël Barrot, the foreign minister, said it was vital for Europe’s security to supply weapons such as the Scalp, the French equivalent of Storm Shadow

Ukraine has already used U.S. ATACMS and British Storm Shadow missiles to strike Russian military facilities, killing senior commanders and injuring a North Korean general.
