Putin ‘launches space weapon’ while his forces carry out nuke drill near Ukraine

Russia had previously warned any satellite seen as aiding Ukraine will become ‘legitimate targets’, and claimed the US wants to turn space into an ‘arena for military confrontation’. Putin’s army have began tactical nuclear weapon drills close to the border with Ukraine to ‘warn the West’ not to help Ukraine anymore. It comes as Defence Secretary Grant Shapps revealed lethal weapons are being flown from China to Russia and into Ukraine. Putin continues to threaten Nato countries with nuclear war if they deploy troops to Ukraine. An ex-general has warned Russian missiles will be able to reach Britain in less than two hours.
