Russia has issued a direct threat to strike UK military facilities in response to comments by British Prime Minister David Cameron, according to a statement from the Russian Foreign Ministry dated May 6.
Russian Foreign Ministry summoned British Ambassador Nigel Casey and “expressed a strong protest” after British Foreign Secretary David Cameron said that Ukraine has the right to strike at Russian territory with British weapons.
Russia’s Foreign Ministry complained that Cameron’s words “contradict previous assurances from British side” that British long-range missiles would not be used for attacks on Russian territory.
“N. Casey was warned that any UK military facilities and equipment in Ukraine and abroad could be targeted in response to Ukrainian strikes using British weapons on Russian territory,” Russian Foreign Office claimed.
Ambassador was also threatened with “catastrophic consequences” and urged to “think about it.”
David Cameron, who visited Ukraine last week, said that Ukraine has the right to use weapons provided by London to strike targets in Russia.
During his visit, Cameron also started negotiations on a 100-year partnership with Ukraine.
“Russia’s Foreign Ministry complained that Cameron’s words “contradict previous assurances from British side” that British long-range missiles would not be used for attacks on Russian territory.”
Is Crimea russian or Ukrainian? russia need to make their mind up, because Storm Shadows have been reeking devastation on Crimea for months. Methinks the putler mafia gang have no answer to Western weapons. A leader confident in his military would say “send what you want, we’ll destroy them all.” Instead we get the vodka bottle pretending to be a politician going off on another of his deranged rants.
Well said foccusser. Well said. bravo
Such threats mean that we hit a nerve. What results will we see from this newest threat? That’s right, crickets.
