RUSSIA warned against the supply of long-range missile to Ukraine again yesterday, threatening to target government buildings and transport infrastructure in response. 

Head of the Russian parliament’s defence committee Andrey Kartapolov made the threat after Britain announced that it was sending an unspecified number of M270 launchers, which can fire precision-guided rockets up to 50 miles.

“Russia will respond to the supply of multiple-launch rocket systems and long-range missiles to Ukraine by targeting transport infrastructure facilities and government buildings,” he told reporters in Moscow.
