Show Notes
Russia has issued the UK with another warning after Britain announced it will provide Ukraine with blueprints for the Storm Shadow missile, allowing Kiev to explore domestic production of the long-range weapon.
The plan was announced by UK’s new prime minister Andy Burnham during his first international visit. He was in Kiev for the country’s 35th Independence Day to show his support for Ukraine.
The two countries also signed a defence deal for new military AI intelligence which will give the UK access to Ukraine’s battlefield data.
Moscow has repeatedly condemned Britain’s support for Ukraine and its latest warning points to British drone factories as potential targets.
How far will the Kremlin go with its threats?
