The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs called the decision of the United Kingdom to transfer Storm Shadow missiles to the Armed Forces of Ukraine an extremely hostile step. A message on the website of the Russian Foreign Ministry says that such actions of the British side are aimed at further pumping Kyiv with weapons and lead to a serious escalation of the situation in the NWO zone.

Also, the Russian ministry warned that Moscow has the right to neutralize the threats that have arisen due to British missiles from the armed forces of Ukraine.
