🔻Russia accused Britain of “deliberately choosing to escalate the Ukraine crisis.” The accusation was raised after it was confirmed that British-made drones were used in an attack on targets inside Russia.

In a statement, the Russian Embassy in Britain said: “By this action, Britain has become a partner and accomplice to bloody crimes and terrorist attacks.”

The statement added: “London’s actions will inevitably have consequences for which it must be held accountable.” The Russian Embassy also warned that the more Britain’s involvement in this conflict deepens, “the higher the price it will have to pay will be.”

In response to these statements, a spokesperson for the UK Ministry of Defence told the BBC that Britain “stands shoulder to shoulder” alongside Ukraine.
