   In a press briefing Maria Zakharova the spokesperson for Russia’s foreign   
   affairs ministry has issued another stern warning to Western countries –   
   and in particular the UK – over encouragement given to Ukraine to strike   
   within Russian territory. She said Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy   
   was “being used” by the west, and told the west to stop trying the   
   patience of Russia. She also threatened strikes on visiting Western   
   dignitaries in Ukraine, saying:   
      
   Such aggression against Russia cannot remain without an answer. We would   
   like Kyiv and western capitals to take seriously the statement by the   
   Russian ministry of defence that further provocation prompting Ukraine to   
   strike against Russian facilities will be met with a harsh response from   
   Russia.   
      
   Advisors from Western countries staying in Ukraine’s decision-making   
   centres will not necessarily be a problem for Russia’s response measures.   
   We do not advise to continue trying our patience.   
      
   She cited UK armed forces minister James Heappey by name, saying that his   
   words suggesting it was “entirely legitimate” for Ukraine to strike at   
   Russian logistics over the border had been taken in Kyiv as a call to   
   action.   
      
   She said “In other words, [Heappey was] effectively calling for Kyiv to   
   use weapons provided by Nato countries.”
