The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement on its official website on the 18th saying that Russia summoned Britain's chargé d'affaires in Russia on the same day to protest against Britain's continuous supply of drones and other weapons and equipment to Ukraine. The statement said that the confrontational stance taken by Britain on the Ukraine issue is clearly intended to prolong and escalate the armed conflict and will only make the prospects for a political settlement more remote. The Russian side has clearly indicated to the British side the risks posed by its series of destructive actions. The statement emphasized that in the context of the Russian military having an advantage and taking strategic initiative in the special military operation area, the British side's series of practices are futile.
