Moscow warns of new escalation after Storm Shadow strike blamed on UK hits Russian plant
Russia’s Foreign Ministry says Ukraine used Storm Shadow missiles to strike the Kremniy El microelectronics plant in Bryansk, killing civilians and warning of a 'new level' of destruction; Kyiv says the plant itself was targeted, a claim Moscow ties to Western involvement in ongoing fighting. Moscow blames Kyiv and its Western partners for derailing peace talks as attacks continue, though the Kyiv Independent cautions it could not independently verify Russia’s claims.
