The Russian government has accused the UK of "provoking" Ukraine into attacking Russian territory.
Russia's defence ministry said it was ready to hit "decision-making centres" in Kyiv should such attacks occur.
The presence of Western advisers at such centres might not affect its decision to retaliate, it added.
It comes after a UK defence minister said it was "not necessarily a problem" for Ukraine to use UK-supplied arms against military targets in Russia.
James Heappey said Ukrainian military strikes to disrupt supply lines were a "legitimate" part of war, and described Russian claims of Nato being in conflict with Russia as "nonsense".
Russia has claimed Ukrainian forces have attacked targets within its territory, including an oil depot in Belgorod, but Ukraine has not confirmed any strikes.

Britain is a combatant and fair game
lol F Russia.
Russia has balls, I’ll give them that.
They ain’t long on brains, though.

Geez Russia, you are at war with the Ukraine.
You didn’t know your own nation might get involved in this?
Wow...
No they aren’t. F Putin.
“Britain is a combatant and fair game”
Russia can’t even manage a war against Ukraine let alone take on all of NATO.
How dare Ukraine attack the military supply lines of the country that has invaded them, leveled cities and killed tens of thousands!
Geez Russia, you are at war with the Ukraine.
You didn’t know your own nation might get involved in this?

True, but Russia can flatten to the ground Kiev or any city, any time they wish. Vlad is demonstrating a huge amount of reserve.
Good grief, they attack a weaker opponent and are getting the snot smacked out of them and the dummies decide to pick on someone stronger
I’d have no problem with the Russkies arming the Irish to attack Britain and get them out of occupied Ireland
At this point, that really is a joke.
Even with conventional weapons, he has caused an incredible
loss of life and damage on the Ukraine. Not to forget his
own men he has caused to die and be injured.
I get your drift, but to act as if he’s been the nice guy is
really absurd.
“...military strikes to disrupt supply lines were a “legitimate” part of war” says the brit politician from his lovely Nob Hill residence.
Yes, they are. Would he also agree this is true of those NATO staging areas in Poland, Moldova? Ships in the med? Rail lines, too? I’d bet the Russkies agree wholeheartedly.
There is a difference between being a nice guy and being restrained. Putin and Russkie leadership arent nice guys, but compared to what they could do to Ukraine, it is restrained.
“Russia can’t even manage a war against Ukraine.”

Well then, nobody should worry, Ukraine will kick Russia’s, China’s, Belarus’, Armenia’s, Kazakhstan’s, Kyrgyzstan’s, and Kyrgyzstan‘a ass and the world will be a better place, eh. Whew, that’s a relief.
Of course. A whole lot of good that does to all the dead
people and centuries of architectural treasures that have
been destroyed.
Rather similar to primitive tribesmen who bluster in the face of an enemy, to try and intimidate their enemy on the one hand and to gin up courage on the other.
The Sioux did that at the Wagon Box Fight in 1867 when they assaulted a detachment of soldiers and civilians cutting timber and hay. The Sioux were welcomed by a hail of gunfire from repeating rifles, which they had not expected.
Something similar happened in 1879 in the Transvaal at Rorke’s Drift in a fight between thousands of Zulu warriors and a detachment of British soldiers and engineers. The Zulus were pummeled.
In the world of ironies, all of those countries have decided against supplying any forces for the current conflict.
The Russian government has accused the UK of “provoking” Ukraine into attacking Russian territory.
It’s pretty obvious Russia has no love for their own people, it’s proven itself to be a savage and barbaric country that is willing to sacrifice to own youth to salve a leaders ego, but it needs to stop trying to egg NATO into a war. Nothing changes the fact that Putin invaded Ukraine. Period, full stop.
