Donald Trump warned of nuclear war by Russia over new Ukraine arms supply
US president Donald Trump has been hit with a scathing warning after he supplied weapons to Ukraine. It comes after his failed pleas for the two countries to agree to a ceasefire Donald Trump has been issued a chilling warning after supplying Ukraine with a barrage of weapons to protect themselves against Russia. The American president confirmed he has given US -made Patriot air defence missiles as support in the raging war. His main ally, Republican senator Lindsey Graham, said the leader has shown a growing interest in helping Ukraine fight back. 'In the coming days, you'll see weapons flowing at a record level to help Ukraine defend themselves,' he said on Sunday. Trump's actions has sparked a furious response from Moscow, with state TV propagandist Aleksandr Sladkov stressing that the president "should be scared." The war pundit added: 'Trump is trying to scare us with missiles, but this is difficult to do. Trump should be scared. Everyone is trying to push us to turn Kyiv and Lviv into Hiroshima and Nagasaki.' The new Trump deal green lights the supply of possible $10 billion ( £7,408,500,000.00 ) worth of defensive and offensive missiles and other arms, to be paid for by US allies in Europe along with Canada, as well as the threat of sledgehammer sanctions if Putin refuses to negotiate in 50 days. Sladkov declared: 'Imagine our country under attack by American cruise missiles, like Yugoslavia, Iraq, etc. I am sure that the Yars should go in response.' Yars are Russia's main land-based strategic nuclear weapons - each missile typically carries three or four nuclear warheads. Each has a yield estimated between 100 and 300 kilotons, making each warhead between seven and 20 times more powerful than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. Frothing Putin TV propagandist Vladimir Solovyov claimed the arming of Ukraine by NATO meant a full scale war. 'The question is about the survival of our country,' he fumed on Kremlin-funded state TV. 'We are already at war. It cannot be avoided. The [Western] task is to destroy our country. We are not fighting in Ukraine, we are fighting with NATO. Understand this already.' This came as it was claimed the US president had quizzed Volodymyr Zelensky on why he did not heap pressure on Vladimir Putin by attacking capital city Moscow, a disclosure likely to further infuriate Moscow. 'We can if you give us the weapons,' Zelensky replied, according to the Washington Post. It has emerged the US considered approving long range Tomahawk cruise missiles for Kyiv, but for now has not done so, but evidently has approved using American-supplied ATACMS missiles inside Russia to a fuller range of almost 200 miles. Ultranationalist politician Leonid Slutsky, leader of the hardline Liberal Democratic Party, said: 'As for the talk about preparations for resuming the process of missile deliveries to the Ukrainian junta: this will certainly be a step back, but will not fundamentally change the situation on the front for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The goals of the [war] will be achieved in any case - either through negotiations or on the battlefield.'

Putin regime threatens UK with nuclear apocalypse and 'painful' radiation death
Kremlin propagandists Vladdimir Solovyov threatened Brits with "painful" radiation deaths and urged Welsh and Scottish people to declare independence from London before it was too late The Putin regime is mocking Sir Keir Starmer over his "war footing" defence review warning of the Russian threat. The Kremlin's most prominent TV propaganda show warned of nuclear Armageddon facing Britain with 'painful' radiation deaths. And the Kremlin-funded broadcast urged the Scots and Welsh to declare independence from London before it was too late. The Putin broadcast claimed that a 'very pretty' woman standing beside Starmer at his defence review announcement showed - from her expressions - that many Britons doubted his strategy in making the UK 'battle ready' to fight Russia. Leading Putin TV mouthpiece Vladimir Solovyov declared: 'I can't understand why the British have gone mad [with the new UK defence review]. Where do they want to clash with us? At what point? 'Or do they think that we have already landed, entered the Thames somewhere and are now storming Westminster Abbey….? We are moving to combat readiness, said Starmer. 'But considering how he boxes, I'm afraid to even imagine his combat readiness….' Solovyov claimed - offering no evidence - it was the British who had staged clandestine undercover operations against Russia. 'Actually, the attack on Russia's cyber security system was carried out by the British,' he said. 'Then, let me remind you that the water threat [to Russia] came from the British, when they were trying to figure out who Crimea belonged to. 'British reconnaissance aircraft are flying through our airspace.' Solovyov - decorated by Putin for his work as a propagandist - said: 'Most importantly, I would like to say something separately to Starmer.' Then he said, in English: 'Scottish people, you have to fight for your independence.' Reverting to Russian, he told viewers across his country's 11 time zones: 'Scottish brothers, you must fight for your independence. Right? 'These English colonisers have no business on Scottish soil. And when your traitors end up in London and take up positions, chase them away. 'Starmer, you are not Scottish! You are just cattle.' Another propagandist - academic Dr Andrey Sidorov - said the Welsh should break free, too. 'The main thing is to remember that with a little bit of Poseidon [high speed underwater nuclear drone], this problem doesn't exist in principle,' said Solovyov. He frequently advocates using the untested Russian Poseidon unmanned submarine to sink Britain under a tidal wave. Political scientist Dmitry Evstafiev told viewers: 'Back to Starmer - there he is, standing there, with workers behind him, or rather, hired extras pretending to be workers. Well, there are a couple of real workers there, apparently. 'But they understand that if the plan for direct military confrontation with Russia, which he is talking about, is implemented, they will all be dead. Quickly and painfully, because death from radiation is not the best kind of death. 'Well, that is, if you die immediately, if you are at the epicentre, then it's okay. But if you die slowly, well, it's not like in some horror movie. 'It's much worse than that. But there was one person there who clearly understood this, and right behind him was a girl whose face showed a whole range of emotions. 'She was a very pretty girl, and as this man [Starmer] spoke, her face changed quite dramatically. So, in principle, Britain is not hopeless. 'There are a number of people there who understand what Britain…[faces in a war].' Solovyov said Starmer 'has never served in the army - he had no basic military training at school.'
