In red the relationship between Russia and Britain – the US knew about the missile test
Vladimir’s address Putin had many extensions with the relationship between Russia and Britain being particularly tense. The reason? He is no other than using Storm Shadow missiles from Ukraine’s forces to hit Russian territory. Britain is now directly involved in the war in Ukraine, the Russian ambassador to the United Kingdom said today, following reports that British long-range missiles were used by the Ukrainian army to hit targets within Russian territory.
” Britain and the United Kingdom are now directly involved in this war, because this launch could not happen without NATO personnel, but also British personnel,” Andrei Kelin told Sky News.
A statement made a few hours ago by Vladimir Putin sends a clear message to the West. The Russian leader warned that his country has the right to use weapons against those using weapons against Russia. In the case of “climate,” Putin continued: “We will respond symmetrically”.
He pointed out that after Ukraine’s recent long-range missile strikes, “the district acquired elements of global conflict”.
At the same time Britain’s Chief of Staff of Armed Forces answering a question about the readiness to engage in the event of escalation with Russia was clear.
” I don’t think there’s anyone in this room who might have the illusion that if the Russians invaded Eastern Europe tonight, we wouldn’t face them in battle,” Rob McGowan told a committee of the British Parliament Rob McGowan, deputy chief of general staff armed forces. The United States had been warned by Russia, just before the blow with an experimental, medium-range ballistic missile in Dnipro, Ukraine, via channels to limit nuclear risk, an American official reported.
According to the Reuters agency, the US has in recent days informed Ukraine and their close allies to help these countries prepare for the possible use of the experimental missile.
The American official said Moscow probably has only a few such missiles.
