Kelin announced the possibility of asymmetric measures against the background of threats from London

Russia may take measures against the UK amid threats to Russian vessels. This was announced on April 6 by Russian Ambassador to London Andrey Kelin.

"Does London have the strength and recklessness to do this? Probably, yes. <...> The question is the price that London will have to pay for the attempt. It may turn out to be very high," Kelin said in an interview with RIA Novosti.

The day before, Kelin had already warned Britain against attempts at aggression against Russian ships.
