The Kremlin has issued the UK with an ultimatum to stop “all forms” of supplying Ukraine with weapons and training Ukrainian troops.
The Kremlin accused the UK of being “unequivocally hostile to Russia” and of killing Russian citizens in “terrorist attacks.”
As a condition to end the war the Kremlin has said that the UK must stop all military training as a condition to end Vladimir Putin’s war on Monday.
“The participation or complicity of other countries is a key issue that must be stopped in all forms – including weapons deliveries and the training of Ukrainian militants,” said Rodion Miroshnik who is Putin’s special envoy to the Foreign Ministry.
“All of this amounts to direct complicity in the conflict.
“Halting these programmes would be a signal of willingness to seek a resolution.”

Speaking to the pro-Putin new outlet Izvestia he said, “Currently, two main Western training initiatives are active – the UK’s Operation Interflex and the EU’s EUMAM mission,” which has seen around 130,000 Ukrainian troops trained.
Konstantin Kosachev, deputy speaker of the Russian senate said, “Any aid that helps Ukraine continue fighting or preparing terrorist operations clearly does not promote conflict resolution.
“It is unequivocally hostile to Russia. That is how we classify it.
“This is a clear campaign against everything Russian – a full display of militarism. I would also add that it shows a desire to shackle the Kyiv government and Ukrainian citizens into tools for achieving British and, in this case, NATO strategic aims.
“Ukrainians no longer have agency. Moscow’s dialogue with London and Brussels has been cut off, and the EU and NATO show no intention of resuming it.”
Oleg Karpovich, vice-rector of the Diplomatic Academy in Moscow accused the UK of killing Russian citizens.
He said, “In practice, they are participating in the killing of our citizens while simultaneously co-ordinating terrorist attacks by the Kyiv regime on Russian territory.”
