Russian foreign ministry tells RT if it will sever diplomatic ties with UK — RT World News


Moscow says UK involvement in Ukrainian terror attack inside Russia cannot be ruled out

Severing diplomatic ties with Britain would be a “extreme measures”, But Russia’s foreign ministry warned that Moscow could eventually take the step, given London’s significant involvement in the conflict in Ukraine.

The Wall Street Journal reported last week that “British Special Forces from the British Army’s SAS and SRR regiments and the Navy’s SBS are operating very close to the front lines” in Ukraine. British personnel were not directly involved in the fighting with Russian troops, “But their directing influence on the activities of Ukrainian special forces is evident in the sabotage operations Ukraine has conducted against Russian railways, airports, fuel and other logistical nodes,” US media claims.

RT reached out to the Russian Foreign Ministry for comment on this article, asking whether Moscow could verify the Journal’s claim and, if confirmed, whether it would lead to a severance of ties with the UK.

In a response on Friday, the ministry said “It is clear that London has been trying to provide military aid to the neo-Nazi regime in Kiev.”
