A former senior adviser to Vladimir Putin says Russia is preparing for possible “hybrid” attacks against the United Kingdom. He warns that the “highest levels” of the Russian government are considering actions such as sabotage or arson, rather than an outright military strike.
According to the report, the adviser also claims Russian planning includes identifying particular UK facilities as potential targets, including a drone factory and a missile company. He presents the UK as a priority focus for Russian threats, framing it in comparative terms within broader conflict. Other details, including timing and specific measures, are not provided in the available excerpts, and the report focuses primarily on the adviser’s warnings rather than independent verification of any immediate plots.
Across the coverage provided here, the emphasis is consistent: the alleged threat is described in non-conventional terms, and named UK industrial sites are cited as potential targets.
