In mid and late April, Ukrainian SU-27 "Flanker" aircraft fired missiles into Russia. The missile debris was retrieved by Russia and forensic exam revealed they were AASM-250 "Hammer" from France and AGM-88 from the U.S.
In the video below, released by Ukraine Armed Forces, the jet is shown firing AASM-250 "Hammer" extended range bombs into Russia:

Over the past few months, other missile attacks into Russia from Ukraine were forensically analyzed by Russia and, at various locations, the missile were determined to be either French SCALP-EG cruise missiles, or British "STORM SHADOW" cruise missiles.
Russia has repeatedly warned the United States, Britain, and France - all of whom are supplying weapons to Ukraine -- that such weaponry cannot be used to attack inside Russia. Those warnings have apparently been ignored.
Earlier this week, Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Federation Council (Their version of a Senate) said, in a media interview: "Storm Shadow/SCALP-EG missiles are not controlled by the military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but by the British and French who arrived in Ukraine."
He went on to add:
"That is why the response to such actions will not be long in coming, and the target will not only be Kiev, but also London and Paris."
