Russia's UK ambassador said that Ukraine's recent drone attacks on airbases for nuclear bombers could escalate the conflict to "World War III" as he suggested that Britain was involved

Russia's ambassador to the UK has warned that Ukraine's drone attacks on airbases for nuclear bombers risk bringing the conflict to 'World War 3' - but expressed doubt about one thing

Ukraine said over 40 bombers, around a third of Russia's fleet, sustained damage or were destroyed. The aircraft affected were Tu-95s, Tu-22Ms and A-50s, targeted by drones that were deployed from containers carried on trucks parked near four bases.
