London’s decision to supply Kiev with long-range cruise missiles is another step towards a “serious escalation” of the conflict in Ukraine, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on May 12. (https://www.mid.ru/en/foreign_policy/news/1870021/)
The ministry called the move an “extremely hostile move by London” on the U.K.’s part, which “graphically confirms the unprecedented level of Britain’s involvement in the conflict.”
“Getting absorbed in geopolitics and trying to assert itself as NATO’s informal leader on the Ukrainian track as Russia’s implacable opponent, Britain is apparently prepared to cross any line and raise the conflict to a completely new level in terms of destruction and human loss,” the Foreign Ministry’s statement read.
