The Russian ambassador to Britain threatened a "a new dimension" in the Ukraine war and says his country is "yet to act seriously".
In an interview with BBC, Andrei Kelin accused the UK of fuelling an “escalation” in the conflict by supplying long-range missiles to Ukrainian forces and helping them to acquire fighter jets. The envoy also claimed that the Kremlin troops had "enormous resources" and will undoubtedly succeed in their invasion, which first began on February 24 last year.
Speaking on BBC1's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, he said: "It’s a big idealistic mistake to think that Ukraine may prevail. Russia is 16 times bigger than Ukraine - we have enormous resources.
