UK to be remembered in history as sponsor of Ukrainian terrorists — Russian embassy

The Russian diplomatic mission said that "in an attempt to overcome their clients’ negative developments on the battlefield, the UK government seems to be close to stepping onto a yet another dangerous turn in the escalation spiral."

LONDON, September 12. /TASS/. By pledging more and more military aid packages to Ukraine, the United Kingdom is getting recorded in history as a sponsor of Ukrainian terrorists, the Russian Embassy in London said following a joint visit to Kiev by the top US and UK diplomats.

"The outcomes of UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy's visit to Kiev in the company of his American counterpart Antony Blinken reflect London's continued obsession with the unattainable goal of inflicting a ‘strategic defeat’ on our country," the embassy said in a statement. "Amid a baffling recap of the history of either ‘Russian imperialism’ or the British slave trade, Kiev received promises of additional tranches of aid and funds. These investments, like all the previous ones, will likely go up in smoke in the Special Military Operation zone or, more probably, disappear down the bottomless pockets of the corrupt Ukrainian elites."

The Russian diplomatic mission said that "in an attempt to reverse the unfavorable dynamics for their Kiev clientele, British authorities appear to be edging toward a new, highly perilous phase of escalation."

"They are increasingly becoming ensnared in confrontational traps of their own making, further tarnishing their international reputation and becoming known as sponsors of terrorists and marauders from the Ukrainian armed forces," the statement says.

The embassy also recalled that "this July, the Labour Party came to power on the back of the British public's demands for change."

"Yet, the new government has chosen to inaugurate its first political season with the tired repetitive assurances of ‘making a stand’ alongside the discredited and criminal Zelensky regime," the statement says. "The hard facts on the ground, namely the failure of the Ukrainian military’s Kursk incursion and the steady advance of the Russian forces in Donbass, have so far not prompted London to reconsider its fundamentally flawed and destructive policy."

"We advise London to soberly assess the trajectory and prospects of the conflict and to cease sacrificing the well-being of its own citizens, the lives of thousands of ordinary Ukrainians, as well as international and European stability. Their American allies should be encouraged to do the same," Russian diplomats added.
