Ukraine launches nearly 800 drones into Russia, targets Moscow
Ukraine targeted the Russian capital of Moscow with close to 800 drones overnight, according to the city's mayor. Aidan Stretch reports.
UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has stated that the UK will continue to provide full support to Ukraine, following Russia's warning of consequences following the use of British-made drones in recent strikes against Russia. Burnham reiterated that the UK is a "not fair-weather friend" and will remain committed to Ukraine in times of need.
Moscow had accused Britain of deliberately escalating the Ukraine crisis, vowing severe repercussions for any further involvement. Ukraine has intensified its attacks on Russia, specifically targeting oil refineries and logistics sites, including Wildberries, an online retailer. The Russian embassy warned that the UK's actions would have consequences, but did not specify the nature of the threat.
Russia's war on Ukraine has disrupted the nation's domestic fuel supplies and weakened its economy. The UK has been a significant supporter of Ukraine since Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022, providing crucial equipment and aid to defend against President Vladimir Putin's illegal invasion.
