Ignoring the Russian warning to the British Prime Minister that he will continue to support Ukraine
On 2 September, British Prime Minister Benhem local time addressed the House of Representatives for the first time as Prime Minister on 1 September. Bernam indicated that he would continue to support Ukraine by continuing the position of former Prime Minister Stammer on the Russian-Uu issue. Bernard stated that he would not change his position in support of Ukraine, regardless of the threat to Britain. He stated that the British Government “does not seek an escalation of the situation”, but is determined to assist Ukraine as much as it can. On 27 August, the spokesman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, Zaharova, warned that the British supply of weapons to Kiev and the use of those weapons by the Soviet forces against Russia would lead to consequences for Britain.
