The Kremlin accused the United Kingdom on Monday of obstructing peace in Ukraine by providing Kyiv with crucial data for manufacturing SCALP long-range missiles. It warned of potential destruction of manufacturing plants producing the weapons. British Prime Minister Andy Burnham, during a visit to Kyiv on the country's Independence Day, assured continued British military support to Ukraine.
Burnham reiterated Britain's commitment to backing Ukraine militarily, despite Russia's threats. The British government authorized defense firm MBDA to release data on UK components of the missile, enabling Kyiv to produce them domestically. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov accused Britain of "methodically and regularly throwing oil on the fire" and plotting to hinder progress in the peace process.
According to Peskov, Russian forces are "carrying out work accordingly, gathering the relevant intelligence to identify the production sites of such missiles and other military equipment, and taking measures to destroy these facilities."
