“We've stood with Ukraine throughout this time with the Russian illegal invasion. We will continue to do so, and we won't be bullied in this way,” said Lilian Greenwood, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Department for Work and Pensions, on Tuesday.
“We are not fair-weather friends. We will be there in Ukraine's hour of need, and that won't change,” Burnham continued.
“London’s actions will inevitably carry consequences for which it will have to answer,” said the Russian Embassy on Monday. “The deeper its involvement in the conflict, and the greater its support for Kyiv’s terrorist machinery, the higher the price it will pay.”
The Times reported Saturday that drones made by two British companies had been used as part of Ukraine’s recent aerial assaults deep within Russia’s mainland for the first time, citing Ukrainian and British defense sources.
In April, the defense ministry announced the delivery of 120,000 drones to Kyiv as part of the “biggest ever drone package for Ukraine.” Then, in June, it committed 150,000 additional drones—along with 350 air missiles—to Ukraine by the end of 2026. The support comes at a critical time for Ukraine, with Zelenskyy continuing to decry a lack of aid from Western allies.
Russia has previously accused the U.K. of involvement in Ukrainian attacks
This is not the first time that Russia has accused the U.K. of directly supporting Ukrainian “terrorist attacks” since Moscow launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022.
“We regard these facts as evidence of London’s approval of the terrorist methods used by the Kyiv regime,” said Zakharova. “Britain’s actual financing and involvement in preparing attacks on the civilian infrastructure and innocent civilians in Russia makes London fully responsible.”
Ukraine’s Armed Forces have used such missiles for strikes within both Russia and Russian-occupied areas of eastern Ukraine in recent months.
Russia and Ukraine intensify long-range strikes
Russian authorities said that the latest round of overnight strikes saw over 600 drones launched toward Moscow between Monday evening and early Tuesday, while the city’s mayor Sergei Sobyanin said that air defenses took down 180.
Kyiv has ramped up strikes deep within Russian territory in recent months, targeting military locations, oil refineries, and notably warehouses belonging to one of the country’s largest online retailers, Wildberries.
In the first strike of its kind targeting Wildberries last month, Zelensky accused Russia of using the logistics facilities “to supply sanctioned components for drone production and navigation equipment.” The retailer’s founder and CEO Tatyana Kim has, alongside the Kremlin, denied the accusations.
