Moscow says Britain will ‘have to answer’ for the UK-made drones hitting Russian refineries
The Russian Embassy in London has accused the United Kingdom of “deliberately opting for an escalation of the Ukraine crisis” after news reports said British-made drones had been used in strikes deep inside Russia.
The Russian Embassy in London has warned that Britain will face consequences for allegedly using UK-made drones in strikes inside Russian territory. The embassy accused the UK of "deliberately opting for an escalation of the Ukraine crisis," stating that the deeper Britain's involvement in the conflict becomes, the greater the consequences it will face.
Russia has previously threatened the UK over its deliveries of Storm Shadow missiles and drone manufacturing technology to Ukraine. Britain's Defense Ministry has stated its commitment to providing Ukraine with the necessary equipment to defend itself against Russia's illegal invasion. Ukraine reportedly received British drones, including ones with ranges of 150 miles and 600 miles, during its campaign of long-range strikes on Russian territory this summer.
These strikes targeted oil refineries and warehouses belonging to the Russian online retailer Wildberries.
