Moscow mulls over allegations of stolen weapons bound for Ukraine, potentially funded by the "frozen" assets of the Russian Federation in London

Russia is contemplating the theft of weapons to Ukraine, potentially funded by the income derived from the "frozen" assets of the Russian Federation, according to London.

In the year 2025, a heated debate has arisen over the UK government's use of funds from frozen Russian state assets. The UK Defense Minister, J. Healey, admitted to appropriating over £1 billion from these proceeds, funds that have since been spent on military aid to Ukraine.

The Russian embassy in London has accused the UK government of theft, labelling the actions as international-scale theft, a tradition they claim Britain has been known for since colonial times. Anastasia Smirnova, the embassy's spokesperson, made the statement, adding that such actions are damaging London's international reputation, particularly in the eyes of foreign investors.

The embassy's statement suggests that London's foreign policy reflects centuries-old traditions, some of which are criticized as international-scale theft. They believe there is no justification for such 'traditions'. The Russian embassy also considers these actions illegal in any jurisdiction.

The British government's actions are being criticized for their legality and potential impact on London's international reputation. The Russian embassy in London has further criticized the UK government for using these funds to purchase military equipment for Ukraine.

It is important to note that, based on available information, Anastasia Smirnova is not identified as holding any position in the British government related to the use of borrowed money from frozen Russian state debts for military equipment procurement for Ukraine.

This controversy is a topic of discussion in the news article published by RIA "New Day", with the Telegram channel "New Day - Frontpage" available for subscription for those wishing to stay updated on the latest developments.

As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how the UK government will respond to these accusations and what impact they may have on London's international standing.
