The Kremlin said on Monday that Britain's decision to hand Ukraine classified information on British-made components used to make SCALP long-range cruise missiles would "add fuel to the fire" and was regarded by Moscow extremely negatively.
Asked about UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham's visit to Kyiv on Monday and the new British missile support, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Britain was a participant in the war on Ukraine's side and accused London of doing everything it could to prevent any progress towards an eventual peace deal.
