Russia accuses Britain was involved in attack on Navy ships in Crimea
On November 3, the Russian Foreign Ministry summoned Deborah Bronnert, the UK’s ambassador to Moscow and expressed a "strong protest" regarding the alleged involvement of London in the attack on Sevastopol
This is stated in the statement of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
The Russians noted that they expressed such a protest because of the active participation of British military specialists in the training and supply of units of Ukrainian troops, in particular, to conduct sabotage operations at sea.
"If such acts of aggression continue, which are fraught with direct involvement in the conflict, all responsibility for their harmful consequences and increased tensions between our states will lie entirely on the British side," the Russian Ministry said.
Moscow has not provided concrete evidence to support its claims. As noted by the Russian Foreign Ministry, they say they have information that the British Navy "handed over a certain number" of crewless vehicles to the Ukrainian side.
