"We gave a note to the British ambassador - The ultimatum is in place"
Russia has warned Britain today that it will bomb British military bases, inside and outside Britain, if Ukraine uses British weapons on Russian soil. According to information, a "note" was delivered to the British ambassador.
The situation is heading towards a now open conflict of all parties involved: Russia, France, Britain and the USA.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Moscow would respond with strikes against British targets if British weapons were used by Ukraine to hit Russian soil.
She told reporters that in such a scenario British targets could be hit " on the territory of Ukraine and beyond its borders".
The spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry thus repeated a warning that Moscow had issued for the first time earlier this month after British Foreign Secretary David Cameron had declared that Ukraine had the right to use weapons provided to it by London to hit targets. inside Russia.
Russia had reacted angrily to that statement and had cited it as one of the reasons why it chose to hold drills this month in preparation for using tactical nuclear missiles.
N. Casey was warned that the response to Ukrainian strikes with British weapons on Russian territory may be any British military installations and equipment on the territory of Ukraine and beyond its borders.
Given the fact that there are dozens of British military bases and other facilities outside the British Isles themselves, any of them could be a target.
Moreover, if British missiles fly deep into Russia, then the targets may well be military installations on the territory of Great Britain itself.
According to information, a British military base in the Falkland Islands (Malvinas), a base on the territory of Gibraltar, as well as military installations in African countries (in Sierra Leone) are now targeted by Russian missiles.
The choice of the Falklands also worries British experts as the President of Argentina Javier Millay has repeatedly raised the question of the withdrawal of the British army from the islands, which Argentina considers its own.
Russia could strike the British military in the Falkland Islands thus helping Argentina regain sovereignty over the islands.
Many Western analysts and politicians fear this.
They also do not rule out a Russian strike on Gibraltar in an attempt to cause rifts within NATO. The London-Madrid enmity on this issue is well known.
Finally, there is also a significant British military presence very close to Russia's border in Estonia.
London has yet to officially comment on the note delivered to the ambassador in Moscow.
