  • Russia warned Britain it would "pay a price" after reports of British-made drones being used in attacks inside Russia.
  • The Russian embassy in London stated Britain is complicit and a "co-perpetrator" in the attacks.
  • The warning comes after reports that Ukrainian forces used drones produced by two British companies to strike military and industrial targets within Russian territory.

Russia issued a stern warning to Britain on Monday, stating that the United Kingdom will "pay a price" following reports that British-designed drones have been employed in attacks deep within Russian territory. The Russian embassy in London released a statement accusing Britain of being "complicit and a co-perpetrator" in these strikes.

This warning follows reports from The Sunday Times newspaper, which indicated that drones manufactured by two British firms were utilized by Ukraine to target military and industrial objectives inside Russia. A high-ranking, unnamed military source also confirmed to the BBC that British-produced drones had been used to strike targets within Russia for the first time.

The Russian embassy's statement further alleged that Britain is "deliberately choosing escalation." The statement concluded with a threat: "The deeper its involvement in the conflict, and the greater the support it provides to Ukraine's terrorist apparatus, the higher the price it will pay."
