(Finance) – Hard back and forth today between Russia and Great Britain. Maria Zacharovaspokesman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, replied on his Facebook profile to the statements of the Deputy Minister of Defense of London, James Heappey, which legitimized the Ukrainian attacks on the territory of the Russia. Heappey said in a radio interview that the UK believes it is “completely legitimate” for Ukraine to identify targets in Russia in order to stop the attacks in Ukraine. “Ukraine was a sovereign country, living peacefully within its borders. And then another country decided to violate those borders and bring 130,000 troops,” she said. Therefore, to interrupt logistic chains, fuel and ammunition supplies and thus stop “the carnage on Ukrainian soil”, according to the deputy minister, it is “completely legitimate” for Kiev to strike Russia.
Heappey added that for the British government it is not “necessarily a problem” if the weapons donated by his country are used to hit targets on Russian soil. If the British government considers it legitimate Kiev’s use of weapons received from the West to “deeply strike the supply lines” of Moscow in Russian territory in order to limit losses and destruction, Russia might consider it equally legitimate to take aims “in depth at the supply lines“Ukrainian to” within those countries which transfer weapons to Ukraine “which also produce” death and destruction “, replied Maria Zacharova.
High voltage also in Poland where the Onet site, taken over by TASS, reported the suspension of Russian gas supplies to the country.
