As Putin’s war in Ukraine continues, one of his closest allies has declared that the United Kingdom is “now the main evil.”
In a bizarre rant broadcast on Russia 1 television channel, retired Colonel Igor Korotchenko declared that the United Kingdom was the “main evil” in the West.
Korotchenko went on a tirade against the UK and its support for Ukraine in the conflict, hosted by Andrey Gurulev and Olga Skabeyeva, two Putin supporters.
He said the UK was in favour of training “Ukrainian sabotage-terrorism groups”.
The retired colonel, who is now the editor-in-chief of Russia’s National Defence magazine, demanded on camera that the British Ambassador, Dame Deborah Bronnert, be deported from the country and the Russian ambassador be recalled.
Speaking down the camera directly, Korotchenko said: “Russian’s intelligence agencies are absolutely sure and have operationally confirmed information showing that the most direct support in training Ukrainian sabotage-terrorism groups is being provided by the UK.
“They are now the main evil!
“We should understand entirely clearly that, yes, there’s the USA, but the Anglo-Saxon brain is in London
“The UK might not have the same capabilities, either financial or operational, which the USA has but nonetheless the ideological component in the unleashing of new terrorist activity in Russia comes from London.”
He also added the UK “has been quite effective in developing their component of carrying out acts of sabotage” since World War II, and are “actively sharing such experience”.
Korotchenko said Britain are ‘literally egging on’ Ukraine to commit acts of sabotage.
Previously, Putin was thought to be looking for “kamikaze” British spies.
According to disturbing reports, the UK security community is concerned that Moscow is launching a new offensive to find Britons willing to turn against their country.
