Putin puppet slaps UK with terrifying 2-word warning over drone factories

Russian officials have expressed fury over the UK decision to share blueprints for long-range missiles with Ukraine.

A Kremlin adviser has claimed British factories producing drones for Ukraine could come under attack. In a horror two-ward warning, Andrei Fedorov said the facilities could be targeted by “unknown sources” but not Russia itself.

His comments came after Britain agreed to share blueprints for long-range cruise missiles with Ukraine as Andy Burnham visited the war-torn country on his first overseas trip as Prime Minister. Mr Fedorov said he could not "100% exclude" the prospect of "semi-military" action following the move which has prompted fury within the Kremlin. The former Russian deputy foreign minister said “sooner or later, there might be not only verbal, but maybe some visible reaction from Russia towards the UK”.

"British factories, in Britain, could be attacked militarily by Russia?"

"They could be attacked, not by Russia, but by unknown sources..."

When asked to elaborate, he told BBC Newsnight: “There are different discussions how it should look like – it might be so-called technical reaction, maybe some hackers attack from unknown source, not from official level of course.

“There might be different political steps and I cannot exclude 100% that there might be some semi-military, for example.”

Pressed to define “semi-military” he said: “For example, something might happen with enterprises, with the factories which are producing drones for Ukraine, etc etc.”

Asked whether this meant British factories in Britain being attacked militarily by Russia, the adviser said: “They could be attacked, not by Russia, but by… from unknown sources.”

The UK has agreed to declassify details of British-made components for the Anglo-French Storm Shadow missile, known as SCALP in France.

Both Britain and France have supplied Ukraine with the weapon which has a range of more than 155 miles.

The move has drawn fierce condemnation from Moscow.

Vladimir Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov said it would add “fuel to the fire” of the conflict.

But Mr Burnham told reporters in Kyiv: “Who started the fire? That’s the question, isn’t it?”

Analysts have said it could still potentially take years for Ukraine to make the missile itself.

Ukraine is increasingly launching long-range strikes inside Russia.

Strikes on oil refineries and warehouses of Russia’s largest online retailer have had a major impact on the Kremlin economy.

Mr Burnham co-hosted his first Coalition of the Willing meeting during his trip to Kyiv on Monday.

He said the allies were doing “everything we can” to “dig into our own stocks and help others dig into their stocks”.

The Prime Minister urged Ukraine’s supporters to send more interceptor missiles to Kyiv amid continued aerial Russian bombardment.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has made repeated pleas for US-made Patriot interceptors in recent months amid diminishing stockpiles.
