‘Sleep well, Europe’: Russia threatens UK sites with potential strikes over Ukraine support

Russia’s defence establishment has reportedly identified multiple European sites involved in supplying or producing military equipment — particularly drones — for Ukraine.

Tensions between Russia and the West have sharply escalated after Moscow issued a chilling warning that appeared to single out parts of the United Kingdom as potential military targets, accompanied by the ominous message: “Sleep well, European partners.”

The remark, attributed to Dmitry Medvedev, has sparked alarm across Europe, coming amid growing military support from the UK and its allies to Ukraine.

Direct threat linked to Ukraine war escalation

Russia’s defence establishment has reportedly identified multiple European sites involved in supplying or producing military equipment — particularly drones — for Ukraine. Among these, three locations in the UK were explicitly highlighted as potential strike targets, marking one of the most direct warnings aimed at British territory since the war began.

Better them than the US. Still, sad.

They'd be legitimate military targets and with Europe feeding Ukraine weapons...

Will be interesting to see how they do if Russia follows through with the threat with them now planning their new NATO without the US allied assistance

Lots of saber rattling going on.

That's Russia being Russia.

And this lines up with preparations for Ezek 38.

Because Tarshish (I suspect Britain) and her cubs plus Sheba and Dedan (I suspect the Abe Accords gang there) don't do anything to help Israel, they merely question Russia about the motive to invade Israel.

The question reveals a potential fear of Russia- Because the text indicates that Russia (or Ukraine- whichever of the 2 of them end up being the boss) is something to be feared. That Russia has a tendency to bully others in the neighbourhood.

That suggests that Tarshish at least and her cubs (I suspect daughter democracies such as the 5 Eyes alliance) are afraid of Russia or perhaps they are just so anti semitic that they won't lift a finger to help Israel.


Couple of more things

1 Who is speaking- It's Medvedev. That is serious. The only one to worry about worse is if Lavrov was saying this or Putin himself.

2 Russians always counter a perceived threat to themselves by a bigger counter threat. So the louder the screaming, the weaker the position. In this case Russia is feeling both weakened and nervous about what is happening.

SO

the way I read this- Putin is worried. He's issuing a counter threat to Britain to get the USA and Britain (and European NATO partners) to back away from Ukrainian support.

I don't actually think Russia will do anything much, they are hoping that yelling loudly, making threats to an American ally will get Europe and NATO in particular to ease up.
