The Russian embassy in London warned the United Kingdom against providing Ukraine with fighter jets, saying such a move would have “military and political ramifications” for the whole world, Russian state-run news agency RIA Novosti reported Wednesday.

"I would like to remind officials in London: such a scenario as the 'bloody harvest' of the next wave of escalation, as well as the resulting military and political ramifications for the European continent and the entire world, should weigh heavy on its conscience," the embassy said, according to RIA.What the UK is saying: Earlier, Britain’s PA media reported that the UK is "actively" considering whether to send jets to Ukraine, citing the prime minister's official spokesperson.

"We've confirmed there will be a training program for Ukrainian pilots and the Defence Secretary is actively looking at whether we send jets," the spokesperson said.British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said “when it comes to the provision of military assistance to Ukraine, nothing is off the table,” adding, “when it comes to fighter combat aircrafts, of course they are part of the conversation."

Sunak said he had discussed the topic with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday. The two leaders were visiting a British military facility where Ukrainian troops were being trained on Challenger 2 tanks.
