UK faces fresh wave of Russian propaganda and threats

The United Kingdom has once again found itself in the crosshairs of Russian propaganda. According to Kremlin propagandists, the Russian Federation "should support everyone who opposes the United Kingdom."

Many of the reports spread by Russian media and government officials are likely untrue. These reports could be part of the information warfare by the Russian Federation.

The Rossiya-1 channel, through its propagandists, has once again launched an attack on the United Kingdom. This time, it claims that Russia should support everyone who is against the United Kingdom. According to the propagandists, this support should also include those who are ready to carry out "attacks with missiles and drones."

We should cynically support everyone who opposes the United Kingdom. If they were willing to carry out any attacks on them with missiles or drones, provoke a revolution, or anything else, we should support it. And we should not be ashamed to declare publicly: "Yes, we support it," - a Russian propagandist says in a video shared on the X portal by Anton Gerashchenko.

Russian propaganda mentions potential separatist movements that could arise in Scotland, Wales, or Ireland, now part of the United Kingdom. "Englishmen who oppress the Welsh. Who will not grant freedom to the Scots? Who will not allow the freedom-loving people of Ireland to unite?" questions the propagandist.

Russian propaganda regularly targets Western countries, including the United Kingdom, which actively supports the fighting Ukrainians. Recently, one of the retired Russian generals and MP Andrei Gurulyov called on Putin to use nuclear weapons against the United Kingdom as part of a preemptive strike.

The threat of using nuclear weapons, just like fuelling separatist sentiments, is an attempt to intimidate the United Kingdom and dissuade the British from potentially agreeing to the use of supplied weapons for attacks carried out by Ukraine deep within Russia.
