Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Zakharova said at a regular weekly briefing on August 27 that according to information obtained by Russia, Britain has transferred technical data to Ukraine for Ukrainian companies to independently assemble the “Shadow of the Storm” cruise missile. She also pointed out that French President Emmanuel Macron also announced a similar technology transfer plan, but it will take time to implement it in the future. According to public information, “Shadow of the Storm” was jointly developed by Britain and France. Zakharova believes that by transferring missile assembly functions to Ukraine, Britain and France are getting rid of their responsibility for attacking Russia in depth. She said that Russia has warned many times that with regard to Ukraine's use of British weapons to attack mainland Russia, Russia may attack any British military facilities and equipment within or outside Ukraine. Zakharova also called on the British leadership to abandon the hostile line, saying that this route could escalate the conflict to a new level. On the same day, she pointed out that Britain, France, and Germany are “adding fuel” to the Ukrainian crisis.
