The UK government is reviewing its strategic forces and plans to increase defense spending. According to "Politico" journalists, Prime Minister Keir Starmer is preparing for a potential military conflict.

The British have not only assessed the readiness of their army but also conducted an analysis of a potential attack from Russia. According to a report published by the government in London on Monday, June 2nd, the Kremlin may order missile strikes, cyberattacks, sabotage, long-range drone attacks, and attempts to manipulate the media.

The Russian authorities reacted nervously to these publications. Kremlin officials began mentioning a nuclear attack on the United Kingdom. Even stronger language has been used by propagandists, led by Vladimir Solovyov.

The Kremlin's leading propagandist and Russia 1 employee is warning the United Kingdom of a "nuclear apocalypse." In his program, Solovyov began threatening an "Armageddon" that would be "painful" for the British.

"I do not understand why the British have gone mad. Where do they want to collide with us? At what point?" began Solovyov.

Even stronger claims are being used by political scientist and Kremlin propagandist Dmitry Evstafiev.

"They must understand that if the plan for direct military confrontation with Russia, as mentioned, is implemented, everyone will die. It will be a quick but painful death. Dying from nuclear radiation is not the best kind of death," conveyed Evstafiev.
