BREAKING: Tensions between Russia and the UK escalated dramatically as a close associate of Vladimir Putin launched a fierce attack on UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, labeling him “illiterate and a fool.” This scathing criticism follows Starmer’s assertion that British forces could be deployed to Ukraine as part of a future peace agreement.
Authorities confirm this heated exchange comes amid a backdrop of renewed military offensives by Russia. During a midnight service marking Orthodox Christmas, Putin characterized the ongoing conflict as a sacred duty, proclaiming that Russian military operations are divinely guided.
In a provocative statement, Kremlin-backed senator Dmitry Rogozin warned that any deployment of UK troops could provoke missile strikes against Britain. “Starmer is illiterate and a fool in the grand scheme of things,” Rogozin stated, emphasizing that such military thoughts did not occur even after Russia’s defeat in the Crimean War of 1853-1856. He ominously added, “we will do to their shi*** kingdom if they actually try to implement this nonsense.”
In the wake of Rogozin’s remarks, Putin authorized a series of overnight attacks across Ukraine, resulting in the injury of seven civilians in Dnipro, including two young girls aged 8 and 16. These strikes targeted residential areas and educational facilities, further intensifying the humanitarian crisis in the region.
During the religious ceremony, Putin spoke to intelligence personnel, proclaiming, “the soldiers of Russia, always, as if on the Lord’s orders, fulfill this very mission – the defense of the Fatherland.” His rhetoric framed the invasion as a holy obligation, drawing on Orthodox teachings to justify the conflict.
Additionally, Putin’s attendance at a chapel linked to the GRU military intelligence agency signals his unwavering support for covert operations. European intelligence reports indicate that Moscow is ramping up undercover activities across Europe, with Polish authorities investigating a connection between a GRU operative and recent railway sabotage incidents.
As the situation unfolds, reports indicate further children were injured in Russian attacks during the Christmas season in the Zaporizhzhia region. Hospitals in Lviv faced power outages due to ongoing energy shortages caused by repeated Russian strikes on Ukraine’s infrastructure.
In retaliation, Ukraine has struck an oil facility in Stary Oskol, Russia, causing significant damage. “As a result of the detonation, several tanks caught fire,” said Belgorod region governor Vyacheslav Gladkov. Firefighters are currently battling the blaze.
With the situation rapidly developing, all eyes remain on the potential for further military escalations and international responses. As tensions mount, the implications for regional stability and civilian safety are becoming increasingly dire. This is a developing story, and updates will follow as more information becomes available.
