Russia threatens Britain after reports of UK drones used in Ukrainian attacks: 'Will have to answer'

Russia has issued a stern warning to Britain, threatening repercussions after reports emerged of Ukraine employing British-manufactured drones in attacks on Russian territory. Moscow alleges that London is deliberately escalating the conflict and using Ukraine as a proxy to inflict maximum damage on Russia. The Russian Embassy in London stated that Britain's actions would inevitably lead to consequences for which it would have to answer. Moscow further cautioned that as Britain's involvement and support for Kyiv grow, the 'price' London will pay will increase. This warning comes amid a significant intensification of Ukrainian drone attacks targeting locations deep within Russia. Reports suggest that drones from at least two British companies have been used in long-range operations against military and industrial targets, including oil facilities, over the past six months. While many attacks utilize domestically developed drones, Ukrainian military sources acknowledge the important role played by British-made aircraft in certain operations. The British government has not directly confirmed the use of its drones in these attacks but has firmly reiterated its unwavering support for Ukraine. The UK Ministry of Defence affirmed its commitment to providing Kyiv with the necessary equipment for self-defense against Russian aggression, assuring Moscow of London's resolve. Britain has previously announced a substantial support package for Ukraine, which includes plans to supply at least 120,000 drones by 2026. Ukrainian attacks have recently reached hundreds, even thousands, of kilometers from the front lines, aiming to disrupt Russia's military and energy infrastructure and deplete its war-fighting resources. Ukraine has developed advanced weaponry, including the Flamingo cruise missile and long-range FP-1 drones, capable of striking targets up to approximately 2,400 kilometers from its border. Russia claims to have intercepted hundreds of Ukrainian drones during massive assaults.
