Russia’s ambassador to the UK ‘blames Britain’ for Ukraine’s daring drone attack & warns of ‘WWIII’ risk

RUSSIA’S ambassador to the UK has blamed Britain for Ukraine’s “historic” drone attack – and chillingly warned of World War Three.

Moscow diplomat Andrei Kelin said that Ukrainian attacks “are bringing the conflict to a different level of escalation”.

Over the weekend, Volodymyr Zelensky hailed Ukraine’s daring drone blitz on Russian airbases as one for the “history books”.

It marked Kyiv’s longest range operation of the conflict so far with at least 40 aircraft being attacked as part of the expert operation codenamed “Spiderweb”.

In an embarrassing result for a raging Vladimir Putin 34 per cent of his cruise missile carriers at the targeted airfields were blasted, Zelensky said.

A £260million AWACS aircraft and bombers capable of dropping nuclear weapons were also struck.

Ukraine said the sneak attack was worth $7bn (£5.2bn) in damage to Russia.

But Russian ambassador to the UK Kelin warned that Kyiv shouldn’t “try to engulf World War Three” in an interview with Sky News.

He also seemingly blamed the UK for potentially providing Ukraine with weaponry that could have been used during the weekend attacks.

He said: “[This] kind of attack involves, of course, provision of very high technology, so-called geospaced data, which only can be done by those who have it in possession.

“And this is London and Washington.

“I don’t believe that America [is involved], that has been denied by President Trump, definitely, but it has not been denied by London.

“We perfectly know how much London is involved, how deeply British forces are involved in working together with Ukraine.”

US President Donald Trump has spent the past few months since he returned to office trying to balance his relationship with both Moscow and Kyiv.

In his latest attempt to draw both sides closer to a ceasefire he spoke with Putin over the phone in a 75 minute call.

Trump revealed that the despot made it clear he feels he “will have to respond” to the audacious drone assault.

It comes as The Sun laid out the six possible methods Putin may use to respond to the enemy.

The tyrant could retaliate with one of his terrifying tactical nukes, launch a deadly 7,600mph missile or even order a renewed 50,000 troop assault to overpower his enemies.

The Kremlin gave a chilling response earlier today regarding how they may respond.

A spokesperson said: “Russian Federation will respond to the attack on airfields when and in the way that the military deems appropriate.”

And overnight, Vlad already launched his first retaliatory strikes on several residential regions.

The worst saw a baby, their mum and grandma all killed due to a Shahed kamikaze drone blast which caused their home to collapse.

Two others were also found dead in Chernihiv with another 17 seriously wounded in Kharkiv.

Olympic bronze medalist Lewis Richardson, 28, set for professional boxing debut at stadium where he used to sell pies

LEWIS RICHARDSON flogged Pukka Pies as a schoolboy in the same Ipswich stadium he’ll earn his first real crust in on Saturday.

The 2024 Olympic bronze winner helped put himself through his GCSEs and A-levels by serving up grub to hungry Tractor Boys at Portman Road over a decade ago.

And the Colchester southpaw will break into the paid ranks by filling in Dmitri Protkunas, just down the road from his family home in a dream debut.

He told SunSport: “Despite it being so close, this is probably the first time I have been in Ipswich for a year.

“I came for one night out here when I was younger but I quickly realised that I had to stay true to my roots back in Colchester.

“I did do some matchday shifts here, though, serving up the Pukka Pies.

“I did the same job at Colchester when I was around 16 and when Ipswich were short staffed a few times, we got the call to come over – and now I am boxing here, it’s crazy.

“I thought a London debut at York Hall or Wembley Arena was going to be a perfect start but Ipswich football stadium is unreal.

“All the friends and family who have talked about attending my first pro fight would have had to book trains or hotels.

“But we don’t even need to arrange minibuses for anyone, it’s a 29 minute drive from my front door, so everyone is happy sharing taxis for a great night.”

Richardson turned 28 on Wednesday but had to bin his birthday plans to make the middleweight limit for this weekend.

The spicy celebrations have been pushed back but the silky southpaw plans to put in a curry order worthy of a Gavin and Stacey special, to make up for the diet.

“The birthday is postponed for four days,” he revealed to us. “The party is pushed back to Sunday.

“I have a curry house booked in Colchester for 15 of us and my mouth is watering just talking to you about it now.

“I can’t even think about my order now.

“But I can say for sure that I will sound like Smithy with the number of bhunas and naans and rice types I am going to order.”

Dismay as Ed Miliband’s flagship Net Zero plan spared ahead of spending review

A FLAGSHIP Net Zero plan has been spared ahead of next week’s spending review — to opponents’ dismay.

Energy Secretary Ed Miliband has ensured his £13billion warm homes scheme will not be downgraded after negotiations with the Treasury.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves decided not to cut the cash which allows heating upgrades through better insulation, solar panels and heat pumps.

But the move will be a boost to the Reform Party who has vowed to scrap reaching the Net Zero target by 2050.

The party’s deputy leader Richard Tice said: “Net Stupid Zero defeats common sense again, meaning higher bills and higher cost of living.

“Jobs and industries are being destroyed by the month.”

Tory leader Kemi Badenoch has already stated that reaching Net Zero carbon emissions by 2050 is “impossible”.

Shadow Cabinet Minister Andrew Bowie added: “Once again it looks like Ed Miliband’s net zero by 2050 zealotry is running this government.

“When vital services like police forces, are facing the squeeze – thanks to Labour’s economic mismanagement – it is shameful Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves have kowtowed and decided to splash taxpayer cash on this ideological obsession,

“Kemi Badenoch and I have told the truth about the cost of net zero by 2050. It is shameful Labour are still not prepared to do the same. Families deserve so much better than being punished with higher costs and higher bills.”

Mr Miliband and the Chancellor are understood to have now tied down his department’s spending three-year spending plans, The Telegraph reported.

Any spending cuts would have slowed down the government’s bid to hit Net Zero and also the pledge to bring down energy bills by £300 by the end of the decade.

The Home Office and Angela Rayner’s housing department are still grappling with the Treasury over cash.

‘We’re talking’ – Liverpool star Luis Diaz opens door to £70m Barcelona transfer with bombshell statement

LUIS DIAZ opened the door to a shock £70million Barcelona move by confessing he is in talks with other clubs.

Liverpool yesterday rejected an approach from the Spanish giants to speak to their Colombian winger.

But Diaz, who has two years left on his Anfield contract, declared: “The market is open and we’re trying to sort out what’s best for us.

“We’re talking with other clubs. It’s the transfer window, it’s normal.

“I’m very happy at Liverpool. From day one, they’ve made me feel really welcome.

“Right now we’re in contact with them because we’re speaking with other clubs.

“I am just waiting to see what happens. If Liverpool don’t make a good offer, I still have two years left with them, I would be happy to stay there.

“It’s up to them. I am just waiting to see what happens. Everything depends on them.

“Obviously, it’s up to me to decide what’s best for the future.”

Diaz’s bombshell comments came after Liverpool posted a picture of him kissing the Premier League trophy on their official X page, accompanied with the caption: “He’s from Barrancas and he plays for Liverpool.”

And his statement is bound to infuriate Kop boss Arne Slot.

Diaz, 28, was a key part of Liverpool’s Prem title triumph last season, scoring 13 goals and providing five assists.

He joined the Reds from Porto in January 2022 in a deal worth up to £49m.

The Colombian has scored 41 goals in 148 appearances for the Reds, winning the Prem, FA Cup and two League Cups.

Barcelona’s sporting director, Deco, contacted Liverpool on Wednesday to discuss the deal but was told the Kop club do not want to sell.

Dutchman Slot wants to keep Diaz for next season’s title defence as he plans a £200m reboot that will include the £126m arrival of Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen.

Barca want Diaz to slot in alongside Raphinha and Lamine Yamal in their front three.

But he is also Saudi club Al-Nassr’s top target.

His partner, Gera Ponce, posted an emotional Instagram message which some fans believe is a farewell.

She wrote: “Thank you for so much love, for so much dedication and for making us feel at home.

“This is a real bond, deep and strong, that reaffirms we’ll never walk alone.”
