Putin 'targets UK with nerve agent'
Sunday Express
|August 14, 2022
SPECIAL forces are supporting a top-secret counter-terrorism operation to thwart Russian nerve-agent assassinations of key figures in Britain.
It comes after warnings from Russian experts that attacks on senior politicians are being planned in retaliation for sending arms to Ukraine.
One Kremlin expert last night said: “We should brace for impact.”
While the potential for attacks on UK infrastructure has been a stark reality since Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine on February 24, new information has pointed specifically to the targeting of high-profile individuals.
