Russia has threatened it “will not forget” Britain’s support for Ukraine, as the world tipped closer to world war. The Mirror reports.
The state’s media says the country is furious at sanctions imposed by Boris Johnson ’s government.
In a statement the Russian foreign ministry made a thinly-veiled threat at the UK and its allies.
Spokesperson Maria Zakharova warned: “Russia will not forget Britain’s desire to co-operate with ultra-nationalist forces in Ukraine and the supply of British weapons to the Kyiv regime.
“The sanctions hysteria in which London plays one of the leading, if not the main, roles, leaves us no choice but to take proportionately tough retaliatory measures. London has made a final choice of open confrontation with Russia.
“Such a development convinces us once more that Russophobia and the aim to undermine the Russian state are integral elements of Britain’s foreign policy.”
Zakharova previously accused the BBC of playing “a determined role in undermining the Russian stability and security”, after it announced it was suspending the work of its journalists in Russia as authorities passed legislation cracking down on foreign outlets.
