In an effort to halt ongoing hostilities, Russia has issued the UK a dire warning.
In case you haven’t been paying attention, the likelihood of World War III isn’t entirely ruled out because global tensions have been increasing at an exponential rate in recent months.
The government published a terrifying paper earlier this month alerting British citizens to “get ready for war” because countries may attack using a variety of tactics.
The US’s new intervention may have temporarily halted the violence between Israel and Iran, but a verbal battle has subsequently broken out.
In the early phases of the accord, Iran and Israel appeared to violate the ceasefire, but since then, nothing has changed.
Russia and Ukraine continue to fight each other; Vladimir Putin recently lost £150 million worth of combat jets in a drone hit by Ukraine.
The Kremlin has never shied away from bringing up the possibility of a third global war, and Russia has already accused the UK of being responsible for strikes earlier this month.
As part of their demands to end the war, they have now issued an ultimatum to the UK to stop providing military training to Ukrainian troops.
The statement was sent by Rodion Miroshnik, special envoy to Putin’s foreign ministry, following Trump’s assertion that he was prepared to impose sanctions on the country because they refused to stop the conflict.
Russia launched 537 strikes against Ukraine over the weekend, the most ruthless assault to date.
Miroshnik added: “The participation or complicity of other countries is a key issue that must be stopped in all forms – including weapons deliveries and the training of Ukrainian militants.”
“All of this amounts to direct complicity in the conflict.”
Miroshnik further stated, “Halting these programmes would be a signal of willingness to seek a resolution.”
Putin’s representative was speaking to Russian outlet Izvestia, who claimed, “Two main Western training initiatives are active – the UK’s Operation Interflex and the EU’s EUMAM mission.”
According to Oleg Karpovich, the vice-rector of the Diplomatic Academy in Moscow, Russia is still committed to its goal of “demilitarising” Ukraine, but they may continue to be militarised.
“In practice, they are participating in the killing of our citizens while simultaneously co-ordinating terrorist attacks by the Kyiv regime on Russian territory,” he said of the UK.
Lindsey Graham, a US senator, recently stated that he is certain President Donald Trump will sign the measure to begin imposing severe sanctions on the Kremlin.
Speaking to ABC News, he claimed, “For the first time yesterday, the president told me … ‘it’s time to move your bill’,” adding that the US are ‘in good shape’, with the final decision in Trump’s hands.
