Russia calls UK a war participant over military aid, troop training, and alleged mercenary involvement, citing UK service member death and political shifts.
Russia's ambassador to the UK, Andrey Kelin, said Britain's extensive military and intelligence support for Ukraine—including active-duty troop deployments, training programs like Interflex extended through 2026, and personnel stationed in Kyiv—justifies Moscow's view of the UK as a de facto participant in the war.
While the UK does not confirm combat roles, it acknowledged the death of a service member in December during a training exercise.
Kelin also claimed British veterans are serving as mercenaries in Ukraine, influenced by government rhetoric, and blamed long-standing UK hostility toward Russia for worsening relations and fueling domestic political shifts like the rise of Reform UK.
