The Russian Ministry of Defense drew attention to the statement of the Deputy Minister of Defense of Great Britain James Hippie, who said that "it would not necessarily be a problem" if the weapons that were provided in London to the Kyiv regime were used to strike at Russian territory.
“We want to emphasize that direct provocation by London of the Kyiv regime to such actions, in the event of an attempt to implement them, will immediately lead to our proportional response,” the message says.
The Russian Defense Ministry recalled that they had already warned that the Russian Armed Forces were ready to deliver retaliatory strikes with long-range precision weapons. The targets for such strikes may be the centers for making appropriate decisions in Kyiv, TvZvezda.ru, the Russian MoD's TV channel reported.
“Advisers from among the citizens of one of the Western countries located in the Ukrainian decision-making centers in Kyiv “will not necessarily be a problem” when Russia makes decisions on retaliatory actions,” the Russian Defense Ministry stressed.
