Russia warns UK will pay for supplying drones to Ukraine | BBC News

Russia has warned the UK of "consequences" following confirmation that British-made drones were used in recent strikes on military and industrial targets in Russia.

In a statement, the Russian embassy to the UK accused Britain of "deliberately opting for an escalation of the Ukraine crisis", adding that "the deeper its involvement in the conflict... the higher the price it will pay".

It did not elaborate on the type of threat Moscow was considering.

Ukraine has stepped up attacks on Moscow and elsewhere deep inside Russia, particularly targeting oil refineries and logistics sites for its key online retailer Wildberries.

A spokesperson for the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) said they stood "shoulder to shoulder" with Ukraine.
