What we can confirm

Multiple reputable news outlets report that Russia, via Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova and other Kremlin figures, has explicitly warned that British military sites, bases and equipment "in Ukraine and beyond its borders" could become targets in response to Ukrainian strikes on Russian territory using British-supplied long‑range missiles and shared Storm Shadow missile production technology. These statements are widely characterized as threats to bomb or strike UK military targets over the UK’s supply of missile technology and weapons to Ukraine, and no credible sources dispute that such threats were made.
