Putin Ambassador Accuses UK Of Helping Ukraine Attack Russia – And Comes Up With A Bizarre British Motive

Vladimir Putin's ambassador to the UK, Andrei KelinVladimir Putin’s ambassador to Britain has accused the UK of aiding Ukraine in its major attack against Russia last weekend.Ukraine deployed more than a hundred drones inside Russia last weekend in a sophisticated operation which destroyed more than 40 warplanes.Andrei Kelin told Sky News that Ukraine could only have achieved this “serious escalation” if the UK had offered up its “geospace data” for use.While denying that Kyiv’s astonishing attack was a “humiliation” for Moscow, Kelin warned Ukraine not to “try to engulf World War III”.“We know how much London is involved, how deeply British forces are involved in working together with Ukraine in targeting,” he said.The ambassador claimed only London and Washington have access to such “geospace data”, but that he does not believe Donald Trump would have aided Ukraine in such a way.According to Kelin, the UK wants to “concentrate” on Russia to distract from its own internal issues.“This story is as old as the world,” he told Sky News. “When the government is not capable of dealing with internal economics and could not provide the population with normal conditions of life, then it tries to find an outside threat and concentrate on this threat.”It’s worth noting that Putin’s invasion of Ukraine has actually put a strain on Russia’s economy because the president is redirecting funds to the defence sector and businesses tied to the war.As Alexandra Prokopenko, a fellow at the Carnegie Russia Eurasia Centre in Berlin, said, this means the life of Russian civilians suffers.The ambassador also questioned defence secretary John Healey’s recent claim that the UK is getting “daily threats” from Russia.“We do not represent any threat to Britain, at all, neither on the sea or in the air,” Kelin insisted.Asked by Sky News if there was any accuracy to the claims, the UK’s environment secretary Steve Reed said he was not aware of any further details.He said: “I’m afraid that’s not something I can give you an answer to because I don’t know the answer to that.“I know that we as a government, cross-party actually, are standing alongside Ukraine as they try to defend themselves against a brutal unprovoked illegal attack, an invasion, from Putin.”The White House previously claimed it had no prior knowledge of Ukraine’s attack.Related...Putin's 'Blatant Disregard' For Russian Troops Unveiled As Moscow Approaches 'Grizzly' MilestoneWhy Ukraine's Surprise Attack Is Being Called 'Russia's Pearl Harbour'Keir Starmer Puts The UK On A War Footing As He Warns Of 'Growing Russian Aggression'
