Price to Pay Will Be High. Moscow Threatens London

The Russian side has accused Great Britain of deliberately betting on the escalation of the Ukrainian crisis following confirmation of the use of British drones on Russian territory. According to a statement released by the Russian Embassy in the United Kingdom the day before, the United Kingdom acts as a supporter and accomplice of bloody crimes and terrorist acts. The diplomatic mission emphasized that London’s actions will inevitably have consequences for which it will have to answer, and the deeper the involvement in the conflict, the higher the price to be paid.

In response, a representative from the UK Ministry of Defence told the BBC that London stands 'beside Ukraine'. The statement from the department indicated that Russia should have no doubts about this government's determination to confront Russian aggression, both in Ukraine and against Britain and their allies. It was also added that the UK is fully committed to providing Ukraine with the equipment necessary to defend against President Vladimir Putin's illegal invasion.

The mentioned drones produced by two different British companies have been used to strike military and industrial facilities within Russia, including oil refineries and warehouses of the online retailer 'Wildberries', successfully hitting them multiple times.
