Air chief marshal Sir Mike Wigston has issued a stark warning over the consequences that could follow if Vladimir Putin loses the war in Ukraine.
'In any case, we will take it into account when making plans. We have all the necessary means to achieve our goals.'to the UK after it supplied Ukraine with Storm Shadow missiles.Kremlin spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said: ‘Russia is extremely negative about the supply of Storm Shadow long-range cruise missiles by Britain to Kyiv, an adequate response will be required.’back in March, saying that ‘there are fewer steps to a nuclear collision’.
Defence minister, Sergei Shoigu said at the time: ‘Another step has been taken, and there are fewer and fewer left. Naturally, Russia has something to answer this with.’ Asked whether this meant that the world was closer to a nuclear collision, Shoigu replied: ‘It was not by chance that I told you about steps. There are fewer and fewer.’
G7 leaders last week agreed they will stiffen sanctions against Russia and said they had ensured that Ukraine had the budget support it needs for this year and early 2024. A joint statement said: 'Today we are taking new steps to ensure that Russia’s illegal aggression against the sovereign state of Ukraine fails and to support the Ukrainian people in their quest for a just peace rooted in respect for international law.'
