Russia threatens UK military targets over Kyiv’s use of British missiles

MOSCOW: Russia has threatened to target British military installations if Ukraine continues to launch attacks using British cruise missiles. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova warned London that it was "one step away" from becoming legally complicit in terrorism against Russian civilians. She urged Britain to reassess its stance and "abandon the hostile, aggressive line" to prevent the conflict from escalating.

This warning came after Russia accused Ukraine of firing British Storm Shadow missiles at a shopping center in Donetsk, wounding civilians, including children. Russia accused Britain of methodically escalating tensions after London granted Kyiv access to technology to produce Storm Shadow missiles, capable of striking deep within Russia. France has already approved the technology license.
