Putin mouthpiece launches furious attack on Britain over Ukraine war: 'UK is now the main evil'

Hosted by Andrey Gurulev and Olga Skabeyeva, two Putin supporters, Korotchenko went on a tirade against the UK and its support of Ukraine in the conflict.

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 the British Ambassador, Dame Deborah Bronnert, was deported from the country on camera, and recall the Russian ambassador.

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 believed to be looking to hire “kamikaze” spies from Britain.

Sinister reports indicate the UK security community fears Moscow is on a new offensive to find Britons willing to turn on their country.

Last year MPs and their staff were urged to stay alert for attempts by the Kremlin to infiltrate their offices.
