Russia has threatened the UK with 'consequences' after British-made drones were reportedly used in Ukrainian strikes against targets in Russia.

UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham reaffirmed the UK's commitment to support Ukraine fully. This situation highlights the increasing tensions between Russia and Western nations amid the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
