The UK government warned that any attempt by Russia to undermine the unity of its partners would be futile and noted that the incident reflects a clear pattern of actions by the Russian state to weaken collective security. [^5]

A British official asserted that the islands are British and will remain so because the position of the islanders is overwhelming. [^6]
