On May 11 of this year, the British Government officially reported that it would send Storm Shadow cruise missiles to Ukraine. The system has the ability to deliver long-range strikes with increased precision.
We qualify this as another extremely hostile move by London to further fill Ukraine with arms. This leads to a serious escalation of tensions in the zone of the special military operation. The transfer of long-range precision missiles to the Kiev regime graphically confirms the unprecedented level of Britain's involvement in the conflict in Ukraine.
Getting absorbed in geopolitics and trying to assert itself as NATO's informal leader on the Ukrainian track as Russia's implacable opponent, Britain is apparently prepared to cross any line and raise the conflict to a completely new level in terms of destruction and human loss.
Russia reserves the right to take any necessary measure to neutralise the threats that may be created through the use of British cruise missiles by Ukraine. All responsibility for the consequences of London's destructive activities rests with those who planned and made this reckless decision.
