Britain ‘Playing With Fire’ by Aiding Ukraine, Faces ‘Unpredictable’ Consequences, Warns Russian Foreign Ministry

"The Kremlin has once again issued dire threats against the United Kingdom and other European states as it insists Western nations that assist Ukraine’s defence against Russia’s
invasion are party to the conflict and will face “unpredictable” consequences.
The announcement by newly installed
British Prime Minister Andy Burnham that his government will be releasing intellectual property to Ukraine to allow them to build Anglo-French bunker-buster cruise missiles domestically on Monday appears to have given particular impetus to Russia to make these complaints, above and beyond years of London actually handing over weapons and equipment. Following earlier threats on this subject, spokesman Zakharova said the presence of the missile in Ukraine is “literally the quintessence of London’s involvement in the Ukrainian conflict”."
