It is reported that British Foreign Secretary Cameron told Reuters during his visit to Kiev last week that Ukraine has the right to use weapons provided by the UK to attack targets in Russia, and whether to do so depends on Kiev. After Cameron made the above remarks, the Russian Foreign Ministry summoned Nigel Casey, the British ambassador to Russia, on the 6th.
After being summoned, the Russian Foreign Ministry issued a statement saying, "Casey was warned that if Ukraine uses weapons provided by the United Kingdom to launch an attack against Russian territory, the Russian response may be to launch (retaliatory strike) against any British military facilities and equipment in Ukraine or other regions."
The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the United States and other Western countries had previously restricted the scope of Ukraine's use of these weapons to hit targets when providing long-range weapons to Ukraine. Cameron's latest statement "actually recognized his country as a party to the conflict", and Russia regarded Cameron's remarks as "evidence of a serious escalation of events", This also confirms that London is increasingly involved in the military operations in Kiev.
RT said that earlier on the 6th, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced that it would hold non strategic nuclear weapons exercises to test the operational readiness of tactical nuclear weapons. The Russian Defense Ministry said that after Western officials made "provocative remarks and threats", Russian President Putin issued an order to conduct the exercise.
