English missiles are flying at a Russian city. Has England started a war against Russia?

Statement by the Russian Foreign Ministry regarding the Ukrainian missile attack on Bryansk:

On March 10, the neo-Nazi Kiev regime perpetrated yet another heinous crime against peaceful civilians in Russia by launching a missile strike on Bryansk.

We strongly condemn that deliberate and premeditated terrorist attack. It targeted a busy commercial area in the Sovetsky District located near Bryansk State Engineering Technological University, residential buildings, commercial and industrial enterprises, public catering facilities and children’s goods stores.

Six people were killed and 42 wounded in the attack. A teenager born in 2009 has been admitted to the regional children’s hospital. The authorities are providing the necessary medical and other assistance and support. We express our sincere condolences to the families and loved ones of the victims and wish a swift recovery to those wounded.

According to available information, the attack was carried out using about seven British Storm Shadow long-range missiles. The head of the Kiev regime, Zelensky, publicly reported to his masters on this barbaric act, which he described as “a successful operation” of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and expressed gratitude to them for carrying it out.

We have repeatedly pointed out that high-tech Western weapons cannot be used without foreign specialists who ensure their operation and targeting, and without the intelligence support provided by certain NATO countries. Kiev’s Western handlers  therefore bear full responsibility for the consequences of this attack and the resulting civilian casualties.

It is evident that Britain has become deeply entangled in geopolitical games, seeking to strengthen its status as the informal leader of European hawks on the Ukrainian track and as Russia’s irreconcilable adversary. In doing so, Britain has violated the norms of international law and is ready to use its puppets to push the conflict to a fundamentally new level in terms of destruction and casualties.

We have also noted that British weapons were used at a time when political and diplomatic efforts to settle the Ukrainian crisis in the trilateral Russia-US-Ukraine format are intensifying. The obvious goal of London and other Western capitals is to stage a large-scale provocation involving civilian casualties in order to derail the peace process and escalate hostilities. This is a well-worn tactic that has been used by the sponsors of the Kiev regime every time a settlement becomes a distinct possibility.

It is no coincidence that the attack was carried out at a time when Washington indicated that the conflict may be approaching a turning point and that achieving peace is quite possible.

We call on the concerned international organisations, primarily the UN, whose leadership has been informed of the situation but has refrained from making any comment, to provide an appropriate assessment of this latest criminal action of the Kiev regime carried out in violation of international law. Silence will be regarded as nothing less than tacit approval of the criminal actions of Zelensky and his puppet masters, who are seeking to escalate the conflict.
