MOSCOW, SANA-Russia has the right to strike British facilities in Ukraine and outside that country, if London’s threats Kiev may carry out attacks with British weapons on Russian territory materialize, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has told TASS.
“If such a scenario is implemented, our country, Russia, reserves the right to respond accordingly, that is, to regard as targets British facilities located both in Ukraine and outside its borders: military facilities, weapons and so on,” Zakharova said.
She described British Foreign Secretary David Cameron’s remark that London considered it legitimate for the Kiev regime to use British weapons for strikes on Russian territory as “something absolutely insane.”
“This statement is not only illegitimate, but also illogical, because Britain itself stated literally the opposite not so long ago,” Zakharova said.
On Monday, Britain’s ambassador to Russia, Nigel Casey, had been summoned to the Russian Foreign Ministry. A strong protest was expressed to him over Cameron’s recent statement in an interview with Reuters about Ukraine’s right to strike Russian territory with British weapons
