[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bo-kyung] The Russian government has warned that "the UK is too deeply involved in the Russia-Ukraine conflict."


On the 3rd (local time), according to AFP and other sources, Andrey Kelin, the Russian ambassador to the UK, stated in a press release that the Kremlin will soon reveal evidence related to the UK's involvement in attacks on the Russian Black Sea Fleet.


He said, "We are fully aware that British experts participated in the planning, training, preparation, and execution of attacks on Russian infrastructure and the Russian fleet," adding, "This is a warning that the UK is too deeply involved in this conflict. It means the situation is becoming increasingly dangerous."


Earlier, the Russian Ministry of Defense claimed that the Ukrainian military, with the help of British military experts, attacked the Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol, a port city in the southwest of the Crimean Peninsula, using 16 drones, and also alleged British involvement in the damage to underwater gas pipelines. In relation to this, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs recently summoned Deborah Bronnert, the British ambassador to Russia.


The UK has denied these claims. A UK government spokesperson rebutted that Russia's assertions are attempts to divert attention from its illegal invasion of Ukraine and the difficulties it is facing in the war.



The spokesperson said, "We do not plan to comment on these (Russian) claims," adding, "It is no secret that the UK has led support for Ukraine, which has continued since Russia's illegal annexation of Crimea in 2014."
