This is stated in the material of BBC journalist Laura Kunsberg, who spoke with sources within the British government.

It is claimed that British officials understand that the threat from Russia is not going anywhere, whether in Ukraine or in the form of sabotage on the streets of Great Britain.

“They are now literally fighting in alliance with the North Koreans, and the Iranians are supplying them. We cannot now look at them other than as a threat,” said an interlocutor in the government.

“Get used to it. We’ve always lived like this,” said one of them.

The presenter asked officials how to respond to Putin’s increasingly threatening rhetoric. Multiple sources agree that there is no need to panic.

“He’s threatening all the way – we shouldn’t let that hold us back,” commented one of the BBC’s interlocutors.

Now Putin’s rhetoric is aimed at getting Donald Trump’s attention and giving him a reason to end aid to Ukraine, one former British minister suggested. He believes that if Trump gets the impression that the conflict has become so dangerous that it cannot be tolerated any longer, then he may want to do everything to stop the war at any cost, even on Putin’s terms.

According to several interlocutors, for now the hope of Ukraine’s Western allies is to put it in the best possible position for negotiations. One administration adviser said that this may require giving Trump an exaggerated impression of his diplomatic skills:

“To create a mood in Trump that is beneficial to Ukraine, and to make him look like the one who stopped the war, not the one who surrendered Ukraine.”

War in Ukraine – help from Great BritainOn the thousandth day of the full-scale war in Ukraine, Great Britain announced a new contribution to support the country’s defense.

As reported by the Ministry of Defense, on November 19 the government agreed to allocate 7.5 million pounds (almost 9.5 million dollars) for new strike and reconnaissance drones. The money will be invested through a drone coalition led by Great Britain and Latvia.
