Russia Threatens Consequences Over UK Drones Used for Deep Strikes in Ukraine

Russia warned of consequences after what it described as the use of UK drones in “deep strikes” during the war in Ukraine. The comments came as reports said British-manufactured unmanned systems had been used to hit targets inside Russia, including military and industrial sites. Moscow framed the activity as more than routine support, linking it to potential escalation and possible countermeasures. The UK and Ukraine have previously indicated their support includes drones and other capabilities aimed at countering Russian attacks, while Russia has repeatedly protested such transfers.
