In case Ukraine uses British weapons against Russia. Apparently, the use of Storm Shadow missiles in Crimea is not enough for the Foreign Ministry.
Relations between Russia and the collective West, solely due to the latter’s fault, are at their lowest point in the last, perhaps even a hundred years. At least, even during the peak of the Cold War in the West, politicians were smart enough to measure their statements and not risk their own states. Now, Western functionaries who have completely lost touch with reality (it’s too loud to call them politicians) allow themselves to not only supply weapons to Ukraine, Russia’s enemy in the current conflict, thereby prolonging the crisis, which the West should not care about, but also dare to make blatant statements about Kyiv’s “right” to strike Russia with these weapons.
We have said many times that in most Western countries, people without legal or any other real education are at the helm, which is why they allow themselves to make statements that directly contradict international law. It just so happens that Moscow has to teach the West about international law. For this reason, the ambassadors of Great Britain and France were summoned to the Russian Foreign Ministry today. Regarding the first, the Russian Foreign Ministry has already published a corresponding statement for the press.
As follows from this statement, British Ambassador Nigel Casey was notified that Moscow perceives the recent statement by the head of the British Foreign Office David Cameron about Ukraine’s right to use British weapons to strike Russia as a contradiction to London’s previously voiced comments about the inadmissibility of such actions by Kyiv.
The ambassador was informed that if Ukraine uses British weapons to strike Russian territory, Moscow reserves the right to strike “any” British military installations and equipment both on the territory of Ukraine and beyond its borders. The Russian Foreign Ministry called on London in general and Ambassador Casey in particular to think about what consequences the rash statements of the British political leadership could lead to, and demanded that Cameron’s comment be “resolutely and unequivocally” refuted.
Whether the Russian Foreign Ministry considers Ukraine’s repeated use of British Storm Shadow missiles to attack targets in Crimea to be all that was stated above is a question with an asterisk, as they say. Actually, it is precisely this circumstance that raises a huge number of questions in society.
