Responding to a series of statements this Wednesday by the British government, which came out to strongly support Ukraine’s right to attack targets on Russian soil and call for “total liberation of the country”, Moscow hurried out at the crossroads.
A day after Vladimir Putin himself said he would not hesitate to respond by lightning strikes (using hypersonic missiles) to anyone obstructing the Ukrainian conflict, the Russian Foreign Ministry added on Thursday that “a greater provocation than Ukraine will seek to attack Russian installations with a harsh response from Russia“, he said.
