We regard this decision as another extremely hostile step by London, aimed at further pumping Ukraine with weapons, and leading to a serious escalation of the situation in the zone of the special military operation, the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
The Russian side reserves the right to take all necessary measures to neutralize the threats that may arise from the use of British cruise missiles by Ukraine, the Russian Foreign Ministry warned.
On Thursday, British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace called the delivery of these missiles to Ukraine a measured move and a proportionate response to the Russian escalation. He recalled that he had written a letter to Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu in December warning that further Russian attacks on Ukrainian civilian infrastructure would lead to the UK handing over more powerful weapons to Kiev.
