Following a military review and the disclosure of potential Russian aggression plans, the Kremlin has started issuing nuclear attack threats. Meanwhile, Russian propagandists are discussing a "nuclear Armageddon."

The UK government is currently assessing its strategic forces and has plans to enhance its defence spending. According to journalists from "Politico," Prime Minister Keir Starmer is positioning the country for a possible military conflict.

The British have not only evaluated their army's readiness but have also analysed the feasibility of a potential attack from Russia. As per a report released by the government in London on Monday, 2nd June, the Kremlin could potentially order cruise missile strikes, cyberattacks, sabotage, long-range drone assaults and attempts at media manipulation.

Russian authorities have reacted with unease to these publications. Kremlin officials have begun mentioning the possibility of a nuclear attack on the United Kingdom. Propagandists, prominently led by Vladimir Solovyov, have started using even more provocative language.

Kremlin's chief propagandist and Rossiya 1 employee warns the UK of a "nuclear apocalypse." On his show, Solovyov threatened that an "Armageddon" would ensue, causing "pain" for the British.

I don't understand why the British have lost their sanity. Where are they aiming for a confrontation with us? At what point? - Solovyov pondered aloud.

Stronger statements were made by political scientist and Kremlin propagandist Dmitry Evstafiev.

They need to realise that if the plan for direct military confrontation with Russia, which is being discussed, is enacted, everyone will perish. It will be a swift but painful demise. Dying from nuclear radiation is not the preferable way to go - Evstafiev stated.
