The UK will 'vanish' if the standoff in Lithuania leads to a nuclear World War 3, a retired Russian general and military expert has warned.
Lieutenant-General Evgeny Buzhinsky explained to Russian state TV that the West is playing a dangerous game by blockading Russian exclave Kaliningrad to stop sanctioned goods being sent to the area through NATO state Lithuania.
He hit out at British general Sir Patrick Sanders, who this week took charge of British land forces and told soldiers to prepare to fight and defeat Russia in a third World War, the Mirror reports.
