Russia has threatened the UK with "consequences" for allowing Kyiv to strike deep inside Russia using British drones. The Russian embassy accused Britain of "deliberately betting on an escalation of the Ukrainian crisis."
"These actions by London will inevitably have consequences for which it will be held accountable," the embassy warned in a statement issued today.
State TV host demands nuclear strike
The warning comes as Vladimir Putin's leading TV attack dog called for a nuclear strike on Britain over Ukraine's use of British drones. Vladimir Solovyov also demanded British arms factories be hit and ships that carry weapons to Ukraine sunk.
"Hit them with Poseidon [underwater nuclear drone]," he demanded in a primetime broadcast on state TV. "Give the British three days to learn to breathe underwater, then hit them with Poseidon."
