"According to our information, the leadership of the armed forces of Ukraine plans to strike at the territory of Russia, including Crimea, with HIMARS and Storm Shadow missiles," Shoigu said at a meeting of the collegium of the Ministry of Defense.
The use of Storm Shadow and HIMARS missiles outside the special operation zone will entail immediate strikes on decision-making centers in Ukraine, the minister said.

"The use of these missiles outside the zone of the special military operation will mean the full involvement of the United States and the United Kingdom in the conflict," he added.

In early 2023, The Times reported, citing Ukrainian defense sources, that the Ukrainian military is prepared to use the United Kingdom's long-range missiles, such as Storm Shadow, to hit Crimea if these are provided in military aid.
