Russia Threatens UK Over Ukraine Using British Drones in Attacks

Russia warned the UK it would face “consequences for which it will have to answer” after reports that Kyiv used drones made by British companies for strikes inside Russian territory. In a statement Monday, the Russian embassy in London said “London is deliberately opting for an escalation,” framing the allegations as justification for retaliation. The brief note did not provide specific operational details about the drone models, targets, or timing of the attacks. The warning signals heightened diplomatic pressure as information about cross-border drone use continues to circulate amid the broader conflict.
