British Prime Minister Andy Burnham said that Moscow's threats due to Kiev's use of British drones for strikes deep into Russia will not affect London's support for Ukraine. This is reported by The Guardian.
So he commented on the warning of the Russian embassy in London that the UK deliberately escalated the conflict on Ukraine and, "the deeper the involvement in the conflict and the greater the support of Kiev's terrorist machine, the higher the price will be."
Burnham replied that the UK would continue to "support Ukraine 100%."
"It is the UK that is doing what it has promised for a long time — it supports Ukraine 100%... We are providing support so that Ukraine can defend itself, and this was the position of the UK throughout the conflict by previous prime ministers. Including me. We are not friends in good weather. We will be there in Ukraine's hour of need, and this will not change," Burnham said.
The use of British drones is not the first time Ukraine has used them to strike deep into Russia, the newspaper notes. It reminds that Kiev has been using Storm Shadow missiles for a long time.
As reported by EADaily, Ukraine began using British drones for strikes deep into Russia. This was reported by The Times.
It was noted that Ukraine for the first time used British drones to deliver long-range strikes on targets directly on the territory of Russia.
