Putin ramps up rhetoric as he claims UK trying to disrupt Russia nuke sites

Dictator hits out as Kim Jong Un arrives for arms talks

RANTING Vladimir Putin accused British special forces yesterday of training Ukraine's sabotage teams to attack Russia's nuclear power plants.

The Kremlin tyrant told an economic forum his FSB security agency learned of the plot by interrogating a Ukrainian squad captured inside his borders.

Former KGB chief Putin warned Prime Minister Rishi Sunak that the intervention would have "serious consequences", adding: "Do they realise what they are playing with?"

He spoke as the US was close to approving shipment of longer-range missiles equipped with cluster bombs to Ukraine.

And his tirade came as North Korea dictator Kim Jong Un arrived in Russia for talks.
