In response, the Russian Foreign Ministry summoned Nigel Casey, the British ambassador to Russia, to formally protest. Foreign Secretary David Cameron’s comments were effectively an admission that Britain would be involved in the conflict, and contradicted previous intentions that long-range weapons provided to Ukraine would not be used against Russia.
Britain, however, denied that Ambassador Casey had been summoned, saying the ambassador held “diplomatic talks” with Russian government officials and reiterated Britain’s support for Ukraine, which is being invaded by Russia.
Russia’s Foreign Ministry warned Casey: “If Ukraine were to attack Russia using British weapons, British military facilities and equipment in Ukraine and abroad could be targeted.” Foreign Secretary David Cameron’s comments aggravated the situation, he said, adding: “As we reflect on the dire and inevitable consequences of such hostile action by the United Kingdom, we condemn the Foreign Secretary’s belligerent and provocative statements in the most decisive and clear manner.” “It must be withdrawn immediately in an appropriate manner.”
