Lavrov pointed to the participation of hundreds of British soldiers in military operations against the Russian Federation.

The fact of the presence of the British military in the area of the special military operation became impossible to conceal after the death of one of them. This was announced on December 11 by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

"Now we have had to admit the facts of direct participation of British servicemen and special forces in the war against Russia. After one of them died, the British government could not hide these circumstances," he said during the embassy round table.

According to Lavrov, it was stated that at least 100 British nationals are involved in the conflict with Russia. The minister also stressed that the Russian side regards the incident as another evidence of the "true nature of the British regime" and intends to draw the necessary conclusions.
