Russia has warned the UK and France that they were “playing with fire” by supplying missile technology to Ukraine , saying Moscow would retaliate by striking British military sites in Ukraine and elsewhere, according to Russian media.
Russia’s foreign ministry spokesperson, Maria Zakharova, said Russia would respond to Ukrainian strikes using British weapons by hitting any British military facilities in Ukraine and beyond, Russia’s state-owned Tass news agency reported.
It came after Andy Burnham announced earlier this week that the UK government will release the blueprints for British-made components for the Scalp missile , a French version of the UK’s Storm Shadow cruise missile, allowing Ukraine to work with France to produce its own version.
