Putin ally threatens UK with all-out war

A close associate of Vladimir Putin has issued a strong warning to the UK as tensions rise ahead of a key phone call between Putin and US President Donald Trump. Vladimir Solovyov, a prominent Russian TV host, threatened that British and French troops would be targeted if they were sent to Ukraine. In a heated broadcast, Solovyov declared, “We will kill you all,” referring to the consequences for any foreign forces in Ukraine. This aggressive rhetoric follows similar comments from Dmitry Medvedev, a senior Russian security official, who warned that a military deployment could lead to World War Three. Solovyov went as far as to suggest that Russian forces could march through Europe, even mentioning that they could enter Paris. He remarked on the potential for conflict, claiming they have “no experience of entering London.” This outburst comes just a day before Trump and Putin plan to discuss a ceasefire in Ukraine. Trump has expressed optimism about the talks, saying that many aspects of a potential agreement have already been settled. He looks forward to the upcoming conversation with Putin.
