The British government is reviewing its strategic forces and plans to increase defence spending. Journalists from "Politico" report that Prime Minister Keir Starmer is preparing for a potential military conflict in this way.

The British not only assessed their army's readiness but also analysed a potential attack from Russia. A report published by the London government on Monday, June 2nd, shows that the Kremlin might order strikes with cruise missiles, cyberattacks, sabotage, long-range drone attacks, as well as attempts to manipulate the media.

The Russian authorities reacted with concern to these publications. Kremlin officials began mentioning a nuclear attack on the United Kingdom. Even stronger rhetoric was used by propagandists, led by Vladimir Solovyov.

The leading Kremlin propagandist and Rossiya 1 employee cautions the United Kingdom about a "nuclear apocalypse." In his program, Solovyov threatened that there would be an "armageddon" which would be "painful" for the British.

I don't understand why the British have gone mad. Where do they want to confront us? At what point? - began to ponder Solovyov.

Political scientist and Kremlin propagandist Dmitriy Yevstafyev used even stronger language.

They must understand that if the plan for direct military confrontation with Russia, which is being discussed, is implemented, everyone will perish. It will be a quick but painful death. Dying from nuclear radiation is not the best kind of death – conveyed Yevstafyev.
