Vladimir Putin has issued a stark warning to the UK, stating that "any military facilities in Ukraine are our legitimate target, British or otherwise," amid rising tensions over British support for Kyiv. When asked whether Russia is considering strikes on British military sites, the Russian president replied, "That's a secret, a military secret." This comes after the UK government announced it would release blueprints for British-made components of the Scalp missile, the French version of the Storm Shadow cruise missile, enabling Ukraine to produce its own version. Russia's foreign ministry spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, accused Britain of "seeking to contain Russia and inflict maximum damage on it by proxy" and warned that "London's actions will inevitably carry consequences."
