Breaking news: Britain Ready To Fight Russia Anytime Putin Invades Another European Country, Says Top Military Official
Magowan, the deputy chief of the British defence staff, revealed this to the House of Commons defence committee on Thursday afternoon.
Atop military official Lt. Gen Sir Rob Magowan has claimed that the British Army is willing to fight Russian forces anytime Vladimir Putin invades another European nation in addition to Ukraine.
Magowan, the deputy chief of the British defence staff, revealed this to the House of Commons defence committee on Thursday afternoon.
He said, “If the British Army was asked to fight tonight, it would fight tonight. I don't think anybody in this room should be under any illusion that if the Russians invaded Eastern Europe tonight, then we would meet them in that fight.”
Magowan’s disclosure came after Russia's ambassador to the UK warned that Ukraine's use of Storm Shadow missiles on Russian territory means Britain 'is now directly involved in this war'.
'This firing cannot happen without NATO staff, British staff as well,' Andrei Kelin told Sky News this afternoon - a day after British-made rockets battered a military base in Russia's Kursk region.
Russian President, Vladimir Putin, on Thursday, also said that Russia has the "right" to target and hit military facilities in countries supplying weapons to Ukraine for attacks on their capital city, Moscow.
Putin confirmed that the strike on Dnipro involved a new intermediate-range ballistic missile, dubbed “Oreshnik” (Russian for “hazel”), and warned that the weapon could be deployed against nations enabling Kyiv’s missile operations.
During his televised address, Putin pledged that Russia would provide advance warnings for future strikes involving this missile to allow civilian evacuations, AP reports.
He also claimed U.S. air defence systems would be ineffective against Russia’s missiles.
The strike on Dnipro reportedly hit a missile factory, injuring two people and damaging a rehabilitation center and an industrial facility, according to Ukrainian officials.
The Ukrainian Air Force stated the missile was launched from Russia’s Astrakhan region near the Caspian Sea.
