Britain has accused Vladimir Putin of a “distraction technique” after he tried to blame Liz Truss for his own threat about using nuclear weapons.
Downing Street slapped down the Kremlin for saying the President put Russia ’s nuclear deterrent on a “special regime of combat duty" after statements from the UK Foreign Secretary.
According to the Interfax news agency, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told a press briefing: "I would not call the authors of these statements by name, although it was the British foreign minister."
