That followed Moscow warning the UK of "consequences" after British-made drones were used in recent Ukrainian strikes in Russia.‌Mr Burnham said: "We are not fair-weather friends, we will be there in Ukraine's hour of need and that won't change."Solovyov took aim at the PM in his latest deranged rant, saying: “We are opposed by Satanists, who don't even hide it. I mean referring not just to the West's clique - including the current Prime Minister of Britain, who says he will press on - well, Great Britain will be wiped off the face of the earth by Russia's might."‌However, Solovyov did not just single out Britain - and soon turned his attention to France and Germany.He said: "French missiles and factories must be destroyed. French legionnaires - meaning not only must they be destroyed on Russian soil, but also their headquarters and deployment sites.‌"British factories must burn; [British] assets must be destroyed. Wherever NATO experts are working on German soil to plan the next operation, they must be destroyed."The satellite constellation - which provides targeting data and subsequent information on strike results - must be destroyed. There is no need to fear anyone. God is with us."Ukraine reportedly used drones made by two UK companies as part of a so-called deep strike campaign in Russia.Article continues belowKyiv has stepped up its attacks on Russia this year, with long-range missiles and swarms of drones increasingly targeting military industries and energy facilities.It has also targeted giant depots for Wildberries – Russia’s largest online retailer – burning billions of pounds of merchandise and bringing the war home to the Russian public more than four years into Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.Choose Daily Mirror as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.‌Vladimir PutinNatoRussia
