Summary
Dmitry Peskov said Britain was effectively participating in the war on Ukraine’s side after Prime Minister Andy Burnham backed plans to help Kyiv produce its own long-range cruise missiles.
The Kremlin said the missile support would “add fuel to the fire” in UK-Russia relations and accused London of doing everything it could to block progress toward a peace deal.
Burnham made the comments during a visit to Kyiv on Monday, putting British military backing for Ukraine at the center of a fresh diplomatic clash with Moscow.
