A senior Russian official, Dmitry Medvedev, stated that British politicians are now a legitimate military target due to the UK's support for Ukraine in its conflict with Russia.

Medvedev's statement came after UK Foreign Secretary James Cleverly argued that Ukraine had the right to use force within Russian borders.

Medvedev also warned that the UK could be qualified as being at war due to its support for Ukraine.

This statement is in contrast to the US position, which does not support attacks inside of Russia.
