Moscow, December 11 (Xinhua) – Around a hundred British troops are participating in combat operations against Russia in Ukraine, and following the death of one of them, the British government can no longer conceal this. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated this during an embassy roundtable on the Ukrainian settlement.
"We have now been forced to acknowledge the direct participation of British military personnel and special forces in the war against Russia. After one of them died, the British government could no longer conceal these circumstances. It has been stated that at least 100 British citizens are among those fighting against the Russian Federation," Lavrov noted.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova also noted that London has begun "preparing public opinion" for military losses in Ukraine. She drew attention to a speech by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, in which he "openly confirmed the death of British serviceman Lance Corporal George Hooley of the Parachute Regiment, which occurred on December 9."
According to M. Zakharova, this is far from the first loss among the British military in Ukraine, and their presence in the special military operation “should be no secret to anyone.” –0–
