Russia vows to target British weapons as UK missile downs helicopter

4.3.22
Russia’s ambassador to the UK has warned that British weapons supplied to Ukraine are “legitimate targets” for the Russian army. Andrey Kelin made the warning on Saturday as Vladimir Putin’s forces struggled to make gains in the country. Defence secretary Ben Wallace last week vowed to send further military aid to Ukraine in the form of long-range artillery weapons and Starstreak missiles. The UK has already supplied President Volodomyr Zelensky’s forces with thousands of Javelin and NLAW anti-tank missiles, which have been used to deadly effect. Speaking to Russian news agency TASS, Ambassador Kelin branded the supply of British weapons “destabilising”, adding: “They exacerbate the situation, making it even bloodier. Apparently, those are new, high-precision weapons. “Naturally, our armed forces will view them as a legitimate target if those supplies get through the Ukrainian border.” Russian forces have unleashed indiscriminate shelling and air strikes on towns and cities in Ukraine, killing thousands of civilians so far in the conflict. The Kremlin and Russian diplomats deny that Mr Putin’s troops target civilians but this flies in the face of numerous reports and footage of atrocities being carried out.

Boo hoo! Your weapons work too well! They are destabilizing! They make this war even bloodier!!

This asshole can't really believe this shit he is shoveling.
