Russian ex-official says "unknown sources" could attack U.K. drone plants
Former senior Russian diplomat says U.K. factories making drones for Ukraine "could be attacked - not by Russia, but from unknown sources."
Former Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Fedorov warned on Monday that British factories producing drones for Ukraine could face attacks from "semi-military" or unknown forces in response to increased military support from London. The Russian President, Vladimir Putin, may feel pressure from public opinion and Russian media to take action against Britain.
Fedorov suggested that such attacks could include cyberattacks or unspecified political measures, but dismissed the possibility of Russian involvement. This comes after the UK agreed to provide classified technology to Ukraine for manufacturing a British/French cruise missile, expanding its military support to Kyiv.
