Former Russian general warns UK will 'cease to exist' as tension mounts over blockade

A retired Russian general and military expert has warned the UK will “physically cease to exist” if a stand off in Lithuania triggers a nuclear World War 3. Lieutenant-General Evgeny Buzhinsky told Russian state TV the West is playing with fire in blockading Russian exclave Kaliningrad to stop sanctioned goods reaching the territory through NATO state Lithuania.

He blasted British general Sir Patrick Sanders, who took charge of the UK’s land forces this week with a rallying call for troops to prepare to fight and beat Russian forces in a World War 3, reports The Mirror. “He doesn’t understand that as a result of the Third World War Britain will physically cease to exist,” said Buzhinsky.
