> Russia’s embassy in London accused the UK of deliberately escalating the Ukraine crisis after reports said British-made drones were used in long-range strikes on Russian territory, including oil refineries and warehouses. It warned that deeper British involvement would bring consequences, while London said it remained committed to supplying Ukraine. Separately, a Russian missile strike on Pechenihy in Kharkiv region killed 10 people and injured 17, according to Ukrainian authorities.
