Russian MoD: London's Provocation Will Lead To Proportionate Response

UK

Russia's state-run RIA reporting comments attributed to the Russian Ministry of Defence stating that 'London's direct provocation of Kyiv to strike targets on Russian territory will lead to a proportional response'.

  • Earlier today, UK Armed Forces Minister James Heappey stated in an interview with the BBC that it was “not necessarily a problem” if UK arms were used by Ukraine to hit Russian targets.
  • Heappey: "It is completely legitimate for Ukraine to be targeting in Russia’s depth in order to disrupt the logistics that if they weren’t disrupted would directly contribute to death and carnage on Ukrainian soil”.
  • The UK has been identified by Russia as a particularly 'unfriendly country', while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has praised UK PM Boris Johnson's gov't for the support offered to Kyiv.
  • Nature of Russia's 'proportional response' unknown, but could involve cyberattacks on UK gov't tech and infrastructure, a frequent weapon utilised against Moscow's adversaries.
