Andrei Fedorov, a senior adviser to the Russian government, has raised concerns about potential semi-military responses against British drone manufacturing facilities. These threats are in response to the UK's decision to share blueprints for components of the Scalp missile, a long-range weapon similar to the Storm Shadow cruise missile, with Ukraine. Fedorov hinted at possible attacks on these factories by unidentified sources without directly implicating Russia. These remarks come amidst Prime Minister Andy Burnham's plans to travel to the United States next month alongside European leaders to discuss Ukraine's defense needs with President Trump. The visit would be Burnham's first official trip to the US since taking office in July, following his recent visit to Ukraine where he reaffirmed UK support and promised continued pressure on Russia. The sharing of missile blueprints is seen as escalating tensions between Russia and the West, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov criticizing the move as preventing "even the slightest progress" towards peace. Burnham, however, questioned who started the conflict, highlighting the increasing Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities and infrastructure. The UK's support for Ukraine includes efforts to strengthen its air defenses and condemn Moscow's strikes against civilians, while also pledging to constrain Russia's war chest through sanctions and actions against their "shadow fleet."
