Putin keeps UK guessing with 'military secret' on strikes
At a combative Bishkek press conference, Vladimir Putin dodged a direct answer about whether Russia might strike UK targets in response to Britain’s support for Ukraine, calling the question “a military secret” to keep Britain guessing. The remarks fit Moscow’s broader effort to pressure the West, portraying Western powers as sharks and signaling readiness to respond, while leaving room for negotiations with some US envoys. The speech also touched on Russia’s war in Ukraine as ongoing, despite setbacks, and came as Germany accused Russia of hybrid operations and a drone attack was attributed to Moscow.”
