UK drones are attacking Russia. Russia has the right of self defence.
Sat 6:58 am +00:00, 18 Apr 2026Russia has avoided escalation as long as possible. Support for Ukraine has diminished.
But this time Russia sees that there has to be a response against the UK and others who have been attacking Russia for years with missiles, and the numbers of attacks are growing. Europeans have become participants.
Where will Russia strike first?
The next interview shows that US military power is no longer seens as invincible, thanks to the mess in Iran. That opens up the notion that Russia can also defeat NATO, and can fight back successfully against western aggression. The US is asking for the ceasefire – not Iran.
Finland broke with the peace agreement it had with Russia by joining NATO. It would be greatly in Russia’s interests to shorten the border with NATO, and push back the potential missile launching sites such as Estonia where attacks on Russia have been made from.
If the UK keeps making the missiles and firing them into Russia, Russia has stated (Medvedev) that reprisals will be taken.
