She also said Moscow took note of British Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s announcement that the UK would transfer classified blueprints for British-made components of the SCALP missile, a French version of the UK’s Storm Shadow cruise missile, for Ukraine to produce domestically.
“Andy Burnham’s government understands, I believe, where this will lead,” Zakharova said, accusing the UK government of continuing to seek to inflict a “strategic defeat” on Russia, an effort she said was “doomed to failure.”
She went on to call on UK residents to “consider the inevitable catastrophic consequences of the hostile actions of their own authorities.”
“We also urge the British leadership to thoroughly analyse the situation once again and immediately, in the most decisive and unequivocal manner, abandon its hostile, aggressive stance” against Russia, she added.
