The Kremlin could order a strike against a NATO base to cut off Ukraine's supply of arms, according to a former British security chief.
Lord Peter Ricketts - the UK's first National Security Adviser - said on Saturday that Russian President Vladimir Putin is "increasingly desperate" to "choke off" the supply of arms into Ukraine.
Lord Ricketts said the tyrant could halt the "flow of arms" by attacking NATO aircraft or military vehicles transporting weapons to the country.
