Ukraine’s Use of Weapons and Drones in Targeted Attacks Against Russia
Ukraine has stated that it employs its own weapons and drones when conducting targeted attacks against Russia, with a focus on its oil refineries and railway infrastructure.
Kremlin’s Reaction to UK Foreign Secretary’s Statement
The Kremlin responded to UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron’s announcement regarding the provision of British weapons to Ukraine for military operations, labeling it as “dangerous”.
Cameron pledged over 3 billion pounds ($3.7 billion) of annual military aid for Ukraine, expressing support for Ukraine’s use of London’s weapons against Russian targets.
Cameron emphasized Ukraine’s right to defend itself, especially in response to Russian strikes within Ukrainian borders.
Differing Views on Weapon Usage
Cameron’s stance contrasts with that of the United States, which stipulates that any weapons supplied to Ukraine should be used within its internationally recognized borders and not against targets in Russia.
Ukraine’s strategy involves deploying its own weapons and drones in targeted attacks on Russian assets such as oil refineries and railway infrastructure.
Kremlin’s Concerns and Response
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov criticized Cameron’s comments as escalating tensions in the Ukrainian conflict, posing risks to European security.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova condemned the acknowledgment of Western involvement in a covert war against Russia through Ukrainian proxies.
Moscow warned of retaliation if Ukraine were to use British weapons to strike Russia, highlighting the potential dangers of such actions.
