俄罗斯在军事援助、军队训练以及指称的雇佣军参与问题上呼吁英国参与战争, Russia calls UK a war participant over military aid, troop training, and alleged mercenary involvement, citing UK service member death and political shifts.

俄罗斯驻联合王国大使安德烈·凯林说,英国为乌克兰提供了广泛的军事和情报支持——包括现役部队部署、Interflex等培训方案持续到2026年,以及驻扎在基辅的人员——这证明莫斯科将联合王国视为事实上的战争参与者的观点是合理的。 Russia's ambassador to the UK, Andrey Kelin, said Britain's extensive military and intelligence support for Ukraine—including active-duty troop deployments, training programs like Interflex extended through 2026, and personnel stationed in Kyiv—justifies Moscow's view of the UK as a de facto participant in the war. 虽然联合王国没有确认战斗角色,但它承认一名现役军人在12月的训练演习中死亡。 While the UK does not confirm combat roles, it acknowledged the death of a service member in December during a training exercise. Kelin还声称英国退伍军人在乌克兰充当雇佣军, 受政府言论影响, 并指责英国长期敌视俄国, 导致关系恶化, Kelin also claimed British veterans are serving as mercenaries in Ukraine, influenced by government rhetoric, and blamed long-standing UK hostility toward Russia for worsening relations and fueling domestic political shifts like the rise of Reform UK.
