Russia warns UK over supplying drones to Ukraine

Russian officials have threatened the United Kingdom over the UK supplying drones to Ukraine, following confirmation of recent Ukrainian strikes in Russian territory. Prime Minister Andy Burnham has vowed that London will continue to support Ukraine 100%, maintaining the UK's position as a steadfast ally throughout the conflict.

The Russian embassy in the UK accused Britain of deliberately escalating the Ukraine crisis, predicting that increased involvement in the conflict would lead to a higher price for Russia. Ukrainian forces have intensified long-range attacks on Moscow and other Russian regions, targeting critical infrastructure such as oil refineries and warehouses of the largest online retailer Wildberries.

Russia has previously warned the UK about its role in providing Ukraine with drone technology and Storm Shadow missiles. The war's impact on Russia has been significant, affecting domestic fuel supplies and weakening the Russian economy. The UK, being one of Ukraine's largest international supporters since the full-scale invasion in February 2022, is committed to providing the equipment Ukraine needs to defend itself against Putin's illegal invasion.
