Russia has warned the United Kingdom that it will face consequences after reports emerged that Ukraine used drones manufactured by two British companies to strike targets within Russian territory. These strikes were part of a deep strike campaign, with Russian-controlled regions, including occupied Crimea, reporting heavy attacks and a huge wave of drones targeting Moscow.
Russia's embassy in London has accused Britain of becoming an accomplice and co-perpetrator of the attacks. Moscow stated that the UK would have to answer for supplying drones and long-range weapons used to hit targets on the Russian mainland.
The British Ministry of Defence rebuffed the threats, asserting that Britain stands shoulder to shoulder with Ukraine. The government reaffirmed its commitment to providing the equipment Ukraine needs to defend itself against Putin's illegal invasion. A spokesperson stated that Russia should be in no doubt about the resolve of the government to stand against Russian aggression in Ukraine and against the UK and its allies.
