The UK has issued a strong warning to Russia, asserting its unwavering support for Ukraine in the face of escalating threats from the Kremlin. UK ambassador to the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), Neil Holland, responded to a recent warning from Russian officials, including former president Dmitry Medvedev, with a blunt statement: "It will not work." Holland criticized Russia's intimidation tactics, asserting that they reflect a disregard for international law and are aimed at deterring support for Ukraine, which is defending itself against an illegal invasion. The UK has been a crucial ally to Ukraine since the conflict began in 2022, providing military assistance and training. Holland also called for the immediate release of three individuals from the OSCE's Special Monitoring Mission who have been unlawfully detained by Russia and its allies for four years, stating that their imprisonment is part of a broader pattern of obstructing accountability and weakening security institutions.
