Russia issue 'sooner or later' warning to Britain as they show chilling strike map on TV
Russia has issued yet another threat to the UK following its constant support of Ukraine since the start of the war.
The UK’s total military, humanitarian and economic support for Ukraine since the war began in 2022 now amounts to £9.3 billion, according to government figures.
Andy Burnham said last week that 'Russia should be in no doubt of our resolve' and that the UK 'will not back down until there is a just and lasting peace'.
The threat, however, comes after the UK Prime Minister's plans to share classified blueprints and technology to help Ukraine locally produce long-range Storm Shadow cruise missiles in their fight against Vladimir Putin's men.

Earlier this week, military expert and former-Colonel Mikhail Khodaryonok said if he was in charge he’d ‘carry out strikes against the UK’ without hesitation.
Khodaryonok said on Russian state television: “As for the hypothetical strikes against the objects of the United Kingdom’s military industry complex…
“Britain’s leadership has to realise that sooner or later, they will have to answer for their actions. If not today, then tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow…but certainly in the historically observable future.
“We have all the technical means for a strike… we need to think about what might happen after the first strikes, in the second and third stages for example.”
“So…are you ruling out these strikes?” the host asked as the likes of Edinburgh, Suffolk and Wiltshire were shown on the screen in a chilling strike map.
“We cannot rule out anything,” replied Khodaryonok.
“If I was in charge, I’d certainly carry out this strike.”
Vladimir Solovyov, meanwhile, wants to ‘give the British three days to learn to breathe underwater, then hit them with Poseidon’.
The Khabarovsk, designed to carry six Poseidon strategic weapons, has begun sea trials in the White Sea.
Measuring 443 feet in length, the submarine is configured with two large compartments for the Poseidon vehicles, which are estimated to weigh between 61 and 121 US tons each.
As reported by The Telegraph, the torpedo is capable of creating a tsunami on an enemy's coastline.
Russia has plans to acquire at least 30 Poseidon torpedoes and four submarines to carry them.
