Putin issues new threat over Russian attacks on UK sites

Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned that it is a 'military secret' whether Russia is considering strikes on British military sites, in response to the UK agreeing to share classified information about the Scalp weapon with Ukraine. This follows accusations from Russia that the UK is 'playing with fire' after allowing Ukraine access to advanced missile technology. UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham defended the decision during a visit to Kyiv, emphasizing the UK's commitment to supporting Ukraine despite Russian threats. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov condemned the UK's involvement, calling it participation in the war, while Burnham compared Ukraine's resistance to the UK's fight against Nazi Germany. Meanwhile, Chancellor John Healey faces pressure to increase defense spending amid rising tensions.
