Russia rarely minces its words when it comes to speaking about who they’re going to wipe off the face of the Earth, and earlier this week a former Russian military head said he’d ‘carry out strikes against the UK’
A Russian strategist warned of launching a strike against the UK on state television, further ratcheting up World War 3 fears. It follows Russian President Vladimir Putin’s admittance that he is “escalating” the situation in the Ukraine, where he has waged bloody war since 2022.
Speaking earlier this week on Russian state television, military expert and former-Colonel Mikhail Khodaryonok said if he was in charge he’d “carry out strikes against the UK”.
Khodaryonok said: “As for the hypothetical strikes against the objects of the United Kingdom’s military industry complex…Britain’s leadership has to realise that sooner or later, they will have to answer for their actions. If not today, then tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow…but certainly in the historically observable future.
“We have all the technical means for a strike… we need to think about what might happen after the first strikes, in the second and third stages for example.”
“So…are you ruling out these strikes?” asked the host of the TV show.
“We cannot rule out anything,” said Khodaryonok with an evil smile spread across his face. “If I was in charge, I’d certainly carry out this strike.”
While Khodaryonok was speaking, broadcasters flashed up a chilling graphic onto the screen which showed a map of the UK. Five destinations were highlighted and had flame icons over them, indicating they were strike targets.
It comes after it was revealed the despot Putin is reportedly plotting a terrifying final gambit to crush Ukraine as the tyrant ramps up threats towards the UK.
As tensions between Moscow and Europe reach boiling point, Putin is reportedly preparing to unleash a 300,000-troop “hammer blow” and crank up sabotage attacks on Nato, while issuing direct military threats aimed at Britain.
Earlier this month UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham announced the UK would give Ukraine declassified blueprints allowing Kyiv to manufacture and improve long-range Storm Shadow cruise missiles at home.
As a result, Putin’s mouthpiece Dmitry Peskov reportedly blasted Britain for “adding fuel to the fire”.
Burnham said allies were doing “everything we can” to “dig into our own stocks and help others dig into their stocks” of air defences to protect Ukraine.
“This is the moment to keep up the pressure on Russia, the moment to squeeze their ability to fund this illegal war,” Burnham said, praising the “strength” of the Ukrainian people.
