Krieg in der Ukraine: Britische Drohnen gegen Russland? Moskau droht mit Folgen
Die Ukraine greift Russland laut einem Bericht mit Drohnen aus britischer Produktion an. Moskau spricht von Eskalation und droht London mit Konsequenzen. Die Briten zeigen sich unbeeindruckt.
A British drone deployment by Ukraine for strikes in Russia has prompted Moscow to threaten consequences. The Russian embassy in Britain stated that London's actions would inevitably have consequences and that the country must be held accountable for its involvement in the conflict. The deeper Russia's entanglement in the conflict, the higher the price it would have to pay.
In response, a British Defense Ministry spokesperson stated that Britain stands "shoulder to shoulder" with Ukraine, which has been defending itself against the Russian invasion for over four years using Western weapons supplies. The Sunday Times reported that British-made drones have been used by Ukraine for the first time to attack targets in Russia's hinterland.
Two British companies supplied the drones to Ukraine, which are then used for long-range attacks. The UK spokesperson emphasized that Britain is determined to support Kiev in its defense against Russian aggression, both in Ukraine and for the United Kingdom and its allies. Ukraine has been expanding its counterattacks primarily with drones in recent months, targeting oil refineries and logistics centers of the largest Russian online retail chain, Wildberries. This economic damage amounts to billions, striking at Russia's war economy.
