Kremlin vows revenge after accusing UK of providing explosives that killed Putin's top generals
The Kremlin has vowed to take revenge after accusing the UK of supplying the explosives which led to the deaths of several top Russian ministers in recent weeks.
It's clear now that Brits aren't the Russians' favourite people right now, with the Kremlin even recently taking measures to ban 21 different UK politicians.
Ever since Russia invaded Ukraine back in 2022, the UK has been pretty vocal in its support of Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his people, even when US president Donald Trump decided to pause all military aid in the wake of an explosive White House meeting earlier this year.
In the last few months alone, Vladimir Putin has lost some of his most-trusted generals and officers, including Yaroslav Moskalik, Igor Kirillov and Yevgeny Rytikov, all of whom were killed in bombings.

While the Russian president has delivered plenty of his own warnings to Britain about what could happen should they officially become involved in the ongoing war, it seems the recent deaths of some of the top dogs in the eastern European country is enough to convince the state that the UK needs to be punished.
Following the death of Moskalik, the commander in charge of briefing Putin on the war, Russian state TV has discussed the possibility of Britain being involved in their deaths, despite Zelenskyy seemingly taking responsibility for their assassinations.
When ammunition expert Andrei Klintsevich was asked on Russian state TV where the explosives had come from, he replied, as per The Mirror: "It is all British, imported by the ton."
He added: “We do realise that someone is creating a network of planted explosives, and [transporting] these explosives.
Propagandist Vladimir Solovyov responded: “So someone had to smuggle it across Europe, removing it from warehouses.
“When we say that British security services are behind every terrorist attack, it means that the blood of the British who authorise the killings on Russian territory must be spilled.”
He then delivered the ominous, biblically-derived warning of 'an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth'.
Mr Klintsevich explained: “All explosives have certain types of labelling. Each time a batch is made, it is possible to understand where it came from. I'm sure our intelligence services have long understood the source down to the factory and the year of manufacture.”
He said: “If these factories blow up [as well as] the headquarters of the intelligence agencies that gave the go-ahead for the terrorist attacks, they should not be surprised."
With the threat of WW3 looking increasingly closer, this latest development is the last thing Britain needs if they want to avoid getting involved.
