The Russian Foreign Ministry stated on Friday that the United Kingdom's decision to send long-range cruise missiles of Storm Shadow type to Ukraine is a sign that country is "obviously ready to cross any borders and take the conflict to a fundamentally new level in terms of destruction and loss of life", EDnews informs via Breaking Times.
"The transfer of long-range high-precision missile systems to the Kiev regime clearly confirms the unprecedented level of involvement of the UK in the Ukrainian conflict," the ministry's written statement read.
"The Russian side reserves the right to take all necessary measures to neutralize the threats that may arise from the use of British cruise missiles by Ukraine. All responsibility for the consequences of the destructive activity of London lies entirely with the authors and executors of this reckless step," the ministry concluded.
