He said: \u201cWe are not fair-weather friends, we will be there in Ukraine&#8217;s hour of need\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The Russian embassy in the UK accused Britain of &#8220;deliberately opting for an escalation of the Ukraine crisis&#8221;, saying &#8220;the deeper its involvement in the conflict&#8230; the higher the price it will pay&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Two British companies are known to have built drones supplied to Kyiv. A military source has confirmed to the BBC that UK drones had been used in recent attacks on Russia that reportedly caused more than \u00a335bn in economic damage.<\/p>\n<p>Kyiv has been stepping up long-range attacks on Moscow and other Russian regions, targeting oil refineries and also warehouses of the giant online retailer Wildberries. The attacks have directly affected Russia&#8217;s domestic fuel supplies and dented the Russian economy.<\/p>\n<p>The UK has been one of Ukraine&#8217;s biggest international supporters since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022. The Ministry of Defence said the UK was &#8220;committed to providing the equipment Ukraine needs to defend itself against Putin&#8217;s illegal invasion&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Jane Hill presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Jonathan Beale and Dan Johnson. <\/p>\n<p>Subscribe to our channel here: https:\/\/bbc.in\/bbcnews<\/p>\n<p>For the latest news download the BBC News app or visit BBC.com\/news<\/p>\n<p>#BBCNews<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Moscow threatens UK will \u201cpay price\u201d after drones strike targets deep inside Russia | BBC News Russia has&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":79243,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[6],"tags":[28545,233,4875,176,234,236,362,7663,24432,17444,47646,231,19682,220,64996,82,18730,15293,4357,8033,2177,64997,83,264,64999,208,67,31,212,213,64995,19,8538,11674,910,218,17,64998,4497,6247,195,219,48,279,79,197,8042,838,42056,235,960],"class_list":["post-79242","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-bbc-news","tag-andy","tag-attacks","tag-bases","tag-bbc","tag-bbc-news","tag-breaking-news","tag-britain","tag-british","tag-burnham","tag-companies","tag-consequences","tag-cost","tag-damage","tag-danger","tag-deep","tag-drones","tag-economic","tag-embassy","tag-explosions","tag-forces","tag-government","tag-harm","tag-invasion","tag-labour","tag-litvinenko","tag-missiles","tag-nato","tag-news","tag-nuclear","tag-nuke","tag-nyam","tag-oil","tag-polonium","tag-price","tag-putin","tag-risk","tag-russia","tag-skripal","tag-soldiers","tag-storm","tag-strikes","tag-threat","tag-trump","tag-uk","tag-ukraine","tag-us","tag-warning","tag-weapons","tag-wildberries","tag-world-news","tag-zelensky"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79242","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=79242"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79242\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/79243"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=79242"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=79242"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=79242"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
