The warning from foreign minister Sergei Lavrov follows weekend newspaper reports that Ukrainian troops fired British-made weapons into Russia for the first time ever. Prime Minister Andy Burnham responded on Tuesday by insisting his government will continue to support Kyiv completely. The Russian embassy in London has also promised unspecified consequences over the decision to supply the long-range equipment.
