Russian state TV threatens bizarre attack on UK military bases if British soldiers join Ukraine frontline

Russian state TV has claimed military targets on UK soil should be attacked if British soldiers are deployed in Ukraine.

Igor Korotchenko, a pro-Kremlin military journalist, said Russia doesn't "desire" war with the UK, but would react harshly if any soldiers were sent to the frontline.

Speaking on the state-owned Russia 1, Korotchenko said Russia "reserved the right to resort to any possible action" if British soldiers engaged with the Russian armed forces in Ukraine.

Britain has been an ally of Ukraine since Vladimir Putin ordered an invasion on 24 February, providing more than £2bn in weapons and aid to the country.

There has been no suggestion of UK forces putting boots on the ground. In March, prime minister Boris Johnson said he wanted to make it "crystal clear" that "we will not fight Russian forces in Ukraine" and that he would keep troops within the boundaries of Nato countries to prevent the crisis escalating even further.

Well Britain has nuclear subs so if Russia wants to be destroyed that’s on them.

What’s really been going on here from the beginning, is Russia making outlandish threats to keep NATO or of the conflict.

Because NATO intervention would mean the destruction of the Russian army, which is tied down in Ukraine and in no shape to take on the rest of Western Europe.

If they send troops, they are fair game, and so would we be if the Groper in Chief did the same, That’s war.

Oh please, don’t bring fairness into this.

Just try to remember that the Ukraine wants this war to last
forever and Russia wants it over tomorrow.

Russia is really concerned about the Ukrainian people.

Not a bizarre warning.

“British soldiers warned to ‘prepare loved ones’ for deployment to Ukraine in war against Russia”

Neither side here is on the side of “right”.

Russia/Putin isn’t doing this for any altruistic reason.
