The UK has already sent Ukraine long-range Storm Shadow cruise missiles with a similar range to ATACMS, which are said to be successfully striking Russian targets. Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been asking for them since the early days of the war, but the Biden administration has so far been reluctant to send them. They were first used during the 1991 Persian Gulf War.
They have around a 185mile (298 km) range and are usually road mobile and vehicle based.

In an update on the situation today, Mr Grossi said the nuclear safety and security situation at the occupied site "remains very precarious". There have long been concerns over safety at the Zaporizhzhia plant as a result of the ongoing war - amplified by an accusation from Volodymyr Zelenskyy last week that Russia had placed "explosive devices" on the plant's roof - a claim Moscow denied. International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) director Rafael Grossi said experts are continuing to visit parts of the occupied facility.īut he cautioned that they have not yet had access to the roof or third and fourth reactor units.

Still, the author’s strong prose does an impressive job anchoring everything on solid ground even as the stories spiral into surrealist grotesquerie. These gore-soaked excesses have difficulty reaching satisfying resolutions the stories’ considerable guts never get a chance to function properly within the collection’s body politic before they are ripped out. A man discovers a mysterious bone with his initials etched into it in “You’ll Find It’s Like That All Over” and engages in an escalating series of wagers with his elderly neighbor, stretching his personal boundaries for the sake of affability. In the Ari Aster–esque “The Enchantment,” a husband and wife grieving the loss of their son under grotesque circumstances become caretakers of a remote island, where they are visited by a strange man who promises either closure or utter damnation. The epistolary title story follows the online relationship between two women as it escalates into increasingly intense submission and domination, culminating in a horrifying event.
The three bloody stories of LaRocca’s debut collection, all “tethered by the human need to connect with someone, something else,” explore the nether sides of human relationships, digging into physical and emotional abuse and the lengths to which people will go to stay civil.
