'The nuclear war cannot be won and it should never be fought. And we stick strongly to this statement,' Moscow's ambassador to the UK, Andrey Kelin, told Sky News.
The Russian ambassador has warned the UK that it is"too deep" in the Ukraine war - but said Moscow would not use nuclear weapons in the conflict.
In an interview with Sky's Mark Austin, diplomat Andrei Kelin claimed he had proof that UK special forces was involved in a Ukrainian drone attack on Russia's Black Sea fleet in Crimea and had handed evidence to the British ambassador. Asked to provide evidence of Russia's claims, Mr Kelin said:"We perfectly know about [the] participation of British specialists in [the] training, preparation and execution of violence against the Russian infrastructure and the Russian fleet in the Black Sea. We know that it has been done.
He added:"It is dangerous because it escalates the situation. It can bring us up to the line of I would say no return, return is always possible. But anyway, we should avoid escalation. "And this is a warning actually that Britain is too deep in this conflict. It means the situation is becoming more and more dangerous."
