Britain, however, has maintained that its military assistance is intended to support Ukraine\u2019s defence against Russia.<\/p>\n<p>The Russian side also argued that Britain\u2019s military support was inconsistent with international obligations and outlined what it described as wider security risks arising from London\u2019s policy. Moscow warned that it reserved the right to take necessary measures in response under its right to self defence.<\/p>\n<p>The Foreign Ministry further warned that any British military facilities in Ukraine used to conduct strikes against Russian territory could be regarded by Moscow as military targets. It urged London to abandon what Russia described as an escalatory approach and bring its actions into line with its international obligations.<\/p>\n<p>Russia and Britain have remained sharply divided over the war in Ukraine and Western military assistance to Kyiv. The latest diplomatic confrontation highlights continuing tensions between Moscow and London over the scale and nature of British military support for Ukraine.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/eng.dragonmedia.com.np\/?p=25734\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"time\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dragon Media News Desk Moscow: Russia\u2019s Foreign Ministry summoned Britain\u2019s Charg\u00e9 d\u2019Affaires in Moscow, Danae Dholakia, on September 18 and lodged a formal protest over what it described as London\u2019s continued expansion of drone and other weapons supplies to Ukraine.
