Russia Threatens the UK After Drone Attacks on Russian Assets

Following a surge of Ukraine‑driven drone strikes that targeted Russian oil refineries and the warehouses of the online retailer Wildberries, Moscow has declared its intent to take “consequences” against the United Kingdom.

The Russian embassy in London responded to accusations that British‑manufactured drones were used in these attacks by branding Britain’s actions as a “deliberate escalation.” These remarks come amid a broader list of grievances the Kremlin has raised against the UK’s support for Ukraine.

Meanwhile, UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has insisted that London remains fully committed to backing Kyiv, affirming a 100% policy of support that spans diplomatic, economic and military aid.
