Russia threatens UK military infrastructure over Kiev's use of British missiles

Russia said on Thursday that the UK's military infrastructure could be attacked by Ukrainian forces using British missiles to bomb Russian territory, so it urged London not to get involved in the conflict.

At a press conference, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zajarova denounced "London's aggressive attitude towards Moscow, "which could lead to" increased violence and escalation of the conflict to a new level. "

In this regard, "it has been repeatedly warned that any equipmentand facilities in the United Kingdom within and outside Ukraine may be targeted in response to Kiev's attacks on our territory with British weapons. "

He also noted that Russia "continues to monitor the transfer of this type of weapon, as well as any technology that may subsequently allow the assembly of missiles."

"It is clear that the direct transfer of components to Ukraine is intended to absolve France and the United Kingdom of responsibility for attacks in our country. It will not work. Paris, London, Berlin and other capitals have direct responsibility for these terrorist attacks," he said.

CIA in Moscow

This Tuesday, CIA Director John RatCliffmade the first trip to Russia since the start of the war in Ukraine. According to several US media outlets, the main purpose of the visit is to warn Moscow not to attack NATO countries.

Nevertheless, the Kremlin has denied that Russia intends to attack a NATO country, but has accused European countries of defending an aggressive policy towards Moscow.

Sergei Narishkin, head of the Russian Foreign Espionage Service (SVR), has admitted that he has dealt with "sensitive" issues with the head of the CIA.
