The 19 ‘safest’ places in UK if WW3 broke out – as Putin pal says war inevitable | UK | News

As warnings of rising tensions between Russia and the West continue to emerge, security analysts have identified a number of places considered the safest places to live in the UK in the event of a major attack.

The assessment came after Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov outlined two “red lines” that he said would lead to a military response, including the deployment of European troops to Ukraine and the seizure of Russian state assets. Although Lavrov insisted that Russia did not want conflict, he added that Moscow would retaliate if these limits were exceeded.

Lavrov said, “We have no intention of going to war with Europe. We have no such intention. However, we will respond to any hostile step.”

Russian state television also broadcast new threats following the news that a British paratrooper was killed in Ukraine.

Kremlin presenter Vladimir Solovyov told viewers that a nuclear attack on Britain was now “inevitable”, while international relations experts described the comments as an attempt to intimidate Ukraine’s allies.
