Russia's Lavrov says Britain risks being seen as party to Ukraine war

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Russia had the ​right to regard the ‌direct involvement of Britain in strikes on Russian territory as participation ​in the war in Ukraine, ​the Interfax news agency reported.
His ⁠comments came after the ​Times newspaper reported on Saturday that ​British-made drones had been used for long-range strikes against Russia for the ​first time. Following the report, ​Russia's embassy in London warned Britain of ‌unspecified "consequences" ⁠for supplying drones to Kyiv. British Prime Minister Andy Burnham said on Tuesday that Britain would ​support ​Ukraine "100%" in ⁠its fight against Russia and stand by ​Kyiv "in its hour of ​need". Moscow ⁠has previously accused British specialists of involvement in attacks on Russian ⁠territory, ​saying Britain's role would ​be taken "into account" in its response.
