"This is a direct escalation of tension around the Ukrainian conflict, which could potentially pose a danger to European security, to the entire European security architecture," he said.
A direct escalation of tensions
"This is where we see such a dangerous trend of escalating tension in official statements. This is a cause for our concern."
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova added:
"This is the first time that a Western politician has so frankly acknowledged what has long been a well-known secret for a majority of the world's countries: That the West is waging a covert war against Russia with the hands of Ukrainians."
"How irresponsible and callous do you have to be not to realise what such statements lead to, especially with regard to countries with nuclear weapons," Ms Zakharova told a briefing.
"We always respond, but how can you not think about the feelings of British subjects and EU citizens."
And, of course, no link to the actual statements, so we are taking them at their word that the context is close.
Yes. The Brits announcing that Brit weapons may be used to attack Russian targets inside Russia seems to suggest that the UK is very much a part of the war between Russia and Ukraine, and that stated position seems likely to increase tensions. Right?
