Moscow dismisses NATO attack reports as 'scare-stories,' warns UK on military sites

Russia has issued a stark warning to Britain, threatening to strike British military targets both inside and outside Ukraine. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated that such action would be a direct response to Ukraine's use of British-supplied missiles for attacks on Russian territory.

Zakharova urged Britain to abandon its "hostile stance" on Ukraine, warning that it risked escalating the conflict to an "entirely new level." She specifically criticized Britain and France for providing Ukraine with sensitive missile technology, calling their actions "playing with fire." Britain recently announced it would allow Kyiv to access classified technology for domestic production of Storm Shadow long-range cruise missiles.

A lot of this kind of scare-story material is being published right now. Of course, it has nothing to do with reality and nothing to do with the intentions of the Russian Federation.

Meanwhile, the Kremlin has vehemently dismissed reports circulating in U.S. media suggesting that Russia might attack a NATO member state. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov characterized these reports as "scare-story material" that "has nothing to do with reality and nothing to do with the intentions of the Russian Federation."

These statements come shortly after Russia's SVR foreign intelligence chief, Sergey Naryshkin, confirmed his meeting with CIA Director John Ratcliffe in Moscow. While details remain scarce, the discussions were described as covering unspecified, sensitive matters within the intelligence agencies' purview.

Britain and France were 'playing with fire' by supplying sensitive missile technology to Ukraine.
