Putin’s mouthpiece calls for strike on Britain in horror rant as he mocks UK food | World | News
A high-profile Russian propagandist has called on Vladimir Putin to order a strike on Britain to destroy the plant making Storm Shadow missiles. Speaking on Kremlin-controlled TV, the Russian President‘s chief cheerleader Vladimir Solovyov sought to downplay the significance of a direct attack on the UK, an action that would mark a monumental escalation, and likely trigger a wider Nato response.
“Every time I read about another [British-made] Storm Shadow missile strike deep into Russia, I genuinely don’t understand why we don’t hit the Storm Shadow factory in the UK,” he fumed. “What’s the problem? Uh… It’s the UK. So what? What’s so valuable there? What’s so valuable there? Shakespeare’s legacy isn’t tied to an island. What’s so valuable about that Storm Shadow factory?”
Britain was known for “insanely tasteless, disgusting cuisine,” added the Putin puppet, who despite his hatred chose to educate at least one of his children in the UK.
It comes after authorities in Russian-occupied Crimea said the port city of Sevastopol was attacked by Ukraine using Storm Shadow missiles, a UK-provided long-range cruise missile.
Mikhail Razvozhayev, Russia’s illegitimate governor of the Crimean peninsula, said in post on social media yesterday that Storm Shadow missiles were involved.
The Ukrainian Government has not commented on the reports, which couldn’t be verified, Radio Free Europe reports. It wouldn’t be the first time Kyiv has used the British supplied weapons as it continues to fight back against Russia’s unprovoked invasion.
General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces said the country’s airforce used the Anglo-French weapons to hit Russian military infrastructure in the occupied Luhansk Oblast on Monday, May 25.
In a statement it said: “Ukraine used Storm Shadow air-launched cruise missiles to successfully destroy an important enemy command-and-control and communications post in the temporarily occupied territory of Luhansk (Oblast),” the Kyiv Indepdent reports.
The missiles are a collaboration between Britain and France, with the French calling it Scalp. Both nations are understood to have given permission for the weapons to be used to hit strategic targets within Russia.
Ukraine has sought to slow Russia’s war machine by striking oil depots and arms facilities deep within Russia and its own occupied territories, including with its own domestically produced Flamingo missiles.
Russia’s full-scale invasion began in February 2022 but has faced stern resistance from Ukraine, and the war continues to grind on with no end in sight.
