"Piercing Sounds": The UK Foreign Ministry reject the Kremlin's threats about the escalation of war
The official called these threats "piercing sounds" that this time do not help London and Washington to do the right thing. It is noted that Kleverly commented on the transfer of F-16 fighters to Ukraine. "As Ukrainians approach success and approach the victory, the Kremlin will be heard more regular and piercing sounds. It will always be an inevitable reaction to the lack of success of Russia on the battlefield," Kleverli said.
The British diplomat also stated that the threats of the Kremlin would not affect the decisions of the Allies to transfer more weapons to Ukraine. He said that Western politicians deliberately decided not to pay attention to the rhetoric of Russian colleagues about escalation. "We deliberately decided that we cannot allow the escalation of rhetoric or rattling weapons from Vladimir Putin or Kremlin from doing us properly," Kleverli said.
Recall that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergey Lavrov stated that the transfer of Kiev F-16 will lead to escalation. "If they do not understand it, then they are not suitable as military strategists and planners," he said. On June 1, US President Joe Biden announced the preparation of Ukrainian pilots on the fourth generation of F-16 in cooperation with partners.
