Putin plans chilling ‘response’ to Western rocket strikes as Russia reveals pics of ATACMS wreckage & expels UK diplomat

VLADIMIR Putin has threatened the West with retaliation for Ukraine’s use of American and British rockets to attack Russia.

The tyrant’s reaction follows the Kremlin’s escalation of aggression in its invasion of Ukraine, which included the expulsion of a British envoy.

Using US-supplied ATACMS missiles, Moscow’s military promised a terrifying “response” to new Ukrainian airstrikes deep inside Russia today.

In a brief but terrifying threat, Russia’s defense ministry wrote on Telegram: “Retaliatory acts are being prepared.

This came when US President Joe Biden authorized the use of long-range rockets by Volodymyr Zelensky soldiers, and Kyiv launched them for the first time on November 18.

Russia’s defense ministry stated Tuesday that Ukraine used the ATACMS rockets to launch new strikes on November 23 and 25.

A Russian S-400 air defense system was damaged by two of the five missiles fired on Saturday.

In the second incident, eight missiles were fired at the Kursk-Vostochny airfield, a military airbase, injuring two servicemen.

The defense ministry of Russia shared images of what it claimed were pieces of an ATACMS, displaying big casings on the road.

On November 20, the Ukrainian military also launched British Storm Shadow missiles, which can evade air defenses.

Lt-Gen Valery Solodchuk, a senior member of the Russian military, and 500 North Korean soldiers who had been dispatched to support Putin’s army were reportedly murdered in this horrific hit.

Moscow was incensed by this and responded on Thursday by shooting intercontinental ballistic rockets into multiple Ukrainian cities for the first time.

In a press conference last week, Putin threatened to hit the US and the UK if necessary and to keep launching his lethal ICBMs on Ukraine.

When the Oreshnik hypersonic ballistic weapon struck the Ukrainian city of Dnipro on Thursday, the dictator declared he would not refrain from using it.

With Putin promising to mass-produce hundreds more, Kyiv worries Russia may already possess ten of the horrifying weapons.

With today’s announcement of the expulsion of British diplomat Wilkes Edward Prior, Putin has also made political jabs at the West.

Additionally, under fresh penalties, an enraged Putin prohibited members of the Cabinet, including Labour parliamentarians Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper, and Angela Rayner, from entering Russia.

According to the Russian government, it was adding journalists and members of the UK military and political elite to its “stop list”.

The Kremlin accused Diplomat Prior of breaking Russian law by purposefully giving false information when granted permission to visit our nation.

According to Russia, he arrived in the nation following the expulsion of six other diplomats in August.

He was told to leave Russia within two weeks after it was decided to revoke his accreditation, according to Moscow.

“Information and subversive activities that pose a threat to the security of the Russian Federation have been exposed,” the statement continued.

The Kremlin offered no evidence or specifics to support these claims.

“To be clear, we refute these allegations,” a spokesperson for No. 10 stated. They have no foundation.

“We’re thinking about our answer right now. This is not the first time our team has been the target of vile, unfounded charges from Putin’s administration.

“Earlier this year, the UK government responded to the Russian state controlling activities in the UK and throughout Europe by taking measures, which led to the Kremlin unjustly limiting the accreditation of six UK diplomats in Russia.

Considering that President Putin’s administration has been in charge of an unlawful war in Ukraine, today’s declaration is hardly shocking.

“The UK Government is unapologetic about protecting our national interests and will now respond in due course, and our embassy in Moscow will continue its important work in Russia to support UK interests.”

Additionally, the UK government is addressing several “unmanned aerial devices” that have been observed over US airbases in the country.

According to a US Air Force spokesperson, the few drones were seen in the air close to RAF Lakenheath and RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk and RAF Feltwell in Norfolk.

Since then, military forces have been called in due to suspicions that Russia is responsible for a number of sabotage missions. According to The Sun, the RAF responded by using its ORCUS counterdrone weapons.
