British Ambassador Nigel Casey was summoned to the Kremlin on Monday and warned him that if Kyiv uses British weaponry to attack Russia, Moscow could hit any UK military facility and equipment.

Lord Cameron has said Ukraine "absolutely has the right" to use British-supplied weapons as it wishes, including to strike targets inside Russia, a potential step which the Russian foreign ministry claimed would have "catastrophic" consequences.

Russias foreign ministry warned it may target British military facilities and hardware in Ukraine and elsewhere.

Russia also announced it has begun nuclear drills with troops near the Ukrainian border.

Russia warned Britain on Monday that if British weapons were used by Ukraine to strike Russian territory, then Moscow could hit back at British military installations and equipment both inside Ukraine and elsewhere. British Ambassador Nigel Casey was summoned to the foreign ministry for a formal protest after Foreign Secretary David Cameron said last week that Ukraine had the right to use British weapons to strike Russia.

Moscow can hit back at "any British military installations and equipment in or outside Ukraine" if Ukraine strikes on Russian territory with U.K.-made weapons, the Russian Foreign Ministry claimed on May 6.
