Andrei Kelin says by providing weapons Britain is ‘killing Russian soldiers and civilians’

Moscow’s ambassador to London has said the UK is waging a proxy war against Russia, while predicting the “end of Ukraine” as Russian invading forces make deeper advances into the country.

…

The comments came as Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, renewed his appeal to western countries for air-defence systems, after Russian missile strikes on the central city of Kryvyi Rih late on Saturday wounded 17 people, according to Ukrainian officials.

Ukraine is losing its territory in its eastern Donbas region to Russia’s invading forces, while coming under sustained bombardment, but has yet to convince western allies to provide it with long-range missiles to strike Russian military targets.

    Yeah and you’re waging direct war in Ukraine, which is worse.

      And they are waging direct war on us too, if we considered coordinated attacks on our IT infrastructure and political misinformation campaigns an act of war, like it should be.

    You know who has the absolute power to end that war, proxy or not? Russia. Russia does. They can withdraw back to their internationally recognized borders and the war will end immediately.

    I mean they are. So is the US. Problem is, Russia started it, so they don’t get to complain about “finding out!”

    Projection. Remember during the first few days of the war when Russia issued a statement saying that the era of the West was over?

    Yes. Yes they are. And so are us Americans. And French. And The Netherlands. And the Nordic countries. And the Baltics. And Poland. And Germany. And-

    Well. You get the idea.

    If you want it to stop, just retreat to your own borders.

    There is no need for a Russian Ambassador anymore. The west is apparently already at war with Russia, according to Moscow.

    Time to eject the potential spies from our respective countries until it’s over, then. GTFO, fucking invaders.
