“In the case of Britain, Moscow was likely to declare that London had gone from a hybrid proxy war with Russia to direct armed aggression if it allows Kyiv to fire Storm Shadow missiles at Russia, former Kremlin adviser Sergei Markov said on social media platform Telegram on Friday.

Russia was likely to close the British embassy in Moscow and its own in London, strike British drones and warplanes close to Russia, for example over the Black Sea, and possibly fire missiles at F-16 warplanes that carry the Storm Shadows at their bases in Romania and Poland, Markov predicted.”

Russia making very specific threats to retaliate if the UK gives Kyiv long range missiles.

Yikes. The whole thing is upsetting my core sense of morality (it's not alone in that respect rn). Like, I'm very anti war, but also, very anti invasion and pro self determination for people/nations. I don't want escalation, but don't want Russia to just take over. Part of me wants Nato to step it up, at least declare no fly zones over free Ukraine. Other part screams no.
