The UK/Kiev escalation of the conflict in Ukraine, by the UK’s provision of Storm Shadow cruise missiles to the Kiev regime, was addressed by Russia’s London embassy yesterday. “We see that London continues to be systematically and openly involved in the Ukrainian conflict. When making decisions, it disregards both the scale of the destruction caused and the number of human lives lost. It follows the motto ‘the ends justify the means.’ The centuries-long experience of London’s foreign policy machinations shows that the British leadership has no serious reservations about this,” it said in a statement to TASS yesterday, as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenksy was embracing British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak in London.
“There is no doubt that the regime in Kiev will not resist the temptation to use increasingly advanced longer-range weapons coming from the West, including the NATO fighter aircraft they have asked for, to sow death, destruction and terror among civilians in Donbass, Crimea and other Russian regions,” the statement reads. “However, neither demonstrative statements about the inviolability of the British-Ukrainian link, nor military gifts will be able to have a significant fundamental impact on the course of the special military operation and the implementation of its objectives. We are certain both London and Kiev are aware of this.”
