Russia’s UK ‘hit list’ after country threatens ‘painful’ nuclear apocalypse in chilling response to Starmer report

There’s a whole supposed ‘hit list’ of UK targets Russia is sitting on after the country threatened a ‘painful’ nuclear apocalypse.

This warning comes after Prime Minister’s defence review earlier this week, as artificial intelligence, drones and a £1 billion investment in homeland missile defence are all part of the plans to keep us safe.

And while Vladimir Putin hasn’t addressed Keir Starmer's report directly, Russian government mouthpiece Vladimir Solovyov has been pretty clear on it, saying we’ve ‘gone mad’.

Then political scientist Dmitry Evstafiev weighed in saying: “They understand that if the plan for direct military confrontation with Russia, which he [Starmer] is talking about, is implemented, they will all be dead.

“Quickly and painfully, because death from radiation is not the best kind of death.”

Well, that’s just a bit scary, right?

Russia has often hit us with threats of missile strikes and these are slowly starting to seem more and more realistic with a number of officials raising alarms.

Germany’s chief of defence previously warned that NATO members are facing a ‘very serious threat’ from the Kremlin, something echoed by the organisation’s top commander.

Previously leaked documents revealed 32 different areas in Europe that Russia reportedly had a target on.

As revealed by the Financial Times, the secret papers seemed to suggest Putin’s warships are primed to use tactical nuclear weapons in the early stages.

And these alleged spots in the UK are found up north, including in Barrow-in-Furness in Cumbria, where the Royal Navy’s nuclear submarine shipyard is thought to be one of the main targets to go after.

It’s then said a factory in Hull was marked with a smokestack. And thirdly, it is thought a shipyard at Rosyth where the Royal Navy’s aircraft carriers HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales were built is a target nearby Edinburgh.

And according to a different report, there’s some other places in allegedly the mix including the likes of Aldershot, Chatham, Colchester, Portsmouth, Salisbury and Tidworth.

Former NATO official William Alberque said that documents were just a small amount of 'hundreds, if not thousands, of targets mapped across Europe... including military and critical infrastructure targets'.

Lord Dannatt, the former chief of the general staff for the British Army, told BBC Radio 4’s World at One the government ‘needs to get over to the people of our country the nature of the threat that we currently face from an aggressive Vladimir Putin’s Russia’.
