Russia warns Britain of 'consequences' for supplying drones to Ukraine

Russia warned Britain it would face “consequences” for supplying drones to Ukraine after a Times report said British-made drones were used for long-range strikes against Russia for the first time. In a statement posted to its Telegram channel, Russia’s embassy in London said “London’s actions will inevitably carry consequences” and accused it of supporting what it called “Kiev’s terrorist machinery.” The British Ministry of Defence did not confirm whether British drones were involved. Ukraine has been using deep-strike drones to hit oil refineries and logistics facilities, according to the report. Britain previously said it would provide 150,000 drones to Ukraine by the end of 2026 under a £752 million ($996 million) funding package.
