- Russia warned the UK of 'consequences' for its backing of Ukraine's drone operations, with Foreign Minister Lavrov stating Britain 'risks being seen as' — the full quote was cut off in the source.
- The UK rejected the threat as bullying, declaring 'We Won't Be Bullied' and reaffirming it 'supports Ukraine 100%,'' per Burnham's public statement following Russia's warning.
