Top Russian diplomat Andrei Kelin has warned the UK is “too deep” with its involvement in the Ukraine war and accused Britain of directing an attack on Vladimir Putin’s warships which caused Moscow significant losses in the Black Sea.
The Russian ambassador to the UK said that officials in the Kremlin “perfectly know about (the) participation of British specialists in (the)training, preparation and execution of violence against the Russian infrastructure and the Russian fleet in the Black Sea,” in an interview on Sky News.
Mr Kelin said that he has the proof which confirms the Royal Navy assisted the drone attack on Russia’s Black Sea Fleet last week.
Moscow has previously blamed the UK for the attack, as well as for an attack on the gas pipelines between Russia and Europe last month.
Britain’s defence ministry dismissed the allegations, saying Russia was “peddling false claims of an epic scale”.
The UK “is too deep in this conflict”, Mr Kelin warned and added that this is “dangerous because it escalates the situation.”
