Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated on Thursday that any British military installations and equipment in Ukraine and beyond its borders could be targeted if Ukraine continues to use UK-made long-range cruise missiles against Russian territory. She added that London was "one step away" from becoming legally complicit in "terrorism" against Russian civilians, warning of "catastrophic consequences." The warning follows Moscow's accusation that Ukraine used British Storm Shadow missiles to attack a shopping centre in Russian-controlled Donetsk a day prior, an incident that reportedly wounded civilians. This diplomatic warning coincides with a new wave of Russian missile and drone attacks across Ukraine, targeting infrastructure and causing casualties.
