Russian tank commander issues grim warning to Boris Johnson and Liz Truss

A general has sent a grim message to top UK political figures as the war in Ukraine grinds on and reportedly . Britain should be , according to a Kremlin general, because of their success in holding up Putin's invasion of Ukraine.

Reservist Major-General Nikolay Plotnikov claimed Ukraine's missile and drone strikes was due to targeting data supplied by the UK. He added: "The British are inputting data into [Ukraine's] missile control units. This tandem [Britain and France] is responsible for the massive drone strike on Russia on May 7." That day, Russia claimed it has intercepted 524 drones, but others clearly evaded air defences and struck military targets.

Putin's regime also claimed five Neptune missiles, six JDAM bombs and two HIMARS rockets, had also been downed.

Neptune missiles are a type of Ukrainian cruise missile used as an anti-ship weapon, while Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) bombs are weapons fitted with GPS receivers to turn them into precision-guided missiles.

HIMARS weapons are those launched from High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems, a mobile artillery which sees a rocket launcher mounted onto the frame of a truck, meaning missiles can be launched on the go.

The tank commander holds a succession of British prime ministers responsible for stymying Putin's bid to swallow Ukraine, even advocating for Russian law enforcement to open criminal cases against the likes of Boris Johnson, Liz Truss, Rishi Sunak and Sir Keir Starmer.

He added: "That's why there are already so many criminal cases piling up against Macron and all the UK Prime Ministers. They should all be put in the dock. And Liz Truss. And that shaggy-haired....[Boris] Johnson and all the rest of them.

Plotnikov claimed: "Because what the British and French intelligence services and military are doing has caused a lot of damage to our people, a lot of people have died."

Vladimir Solovyov, a TV host and a leading Putin propagandist, said Britain should be struck with Poseidon high speed atomic underwater drones, or Sarmat, also known as Satan-2, an enormous 208-tonne intercontinental nuclear weapon capable of travelling at 15,880mph and spanning an area the size of a 14-storey tower block.

The general said: "It will be possible to do that. The time will come, I think the time will come, yes."

Solovyov said he would deploy both weapons on the UK. He was speaking on his TV show, which is funded by the Kremlin, which choreographs his themes of propaganda.
