Hammond during an interview with state-funded BBC on Sunday said “We would look at the case. We work extremely closely with the Americans. That would be a decision that we would make together if that proposition was on the table. We would look at all the pros and the cons and come to a conclusion.”
The British official stated in reference to the pro-Russians in eastern Ukrain e “I think it is right to be concerned about the way the Russians are developing what they call asymmetric warfare doctrine … There have been some worrying signs of stepping up levels of activity both by Russian forces and by Russian-controlled separatist forces.”
Hammond once again accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of heightening the tensions in eastern Ukraine, threatening to slap further sanctions against Moscow.
Hammond, however, stressed that the anti-Russian moves are supposed to act as warnings, saying Britain and its allies do not aim to “provoke” Moscow.
