London: Putin increasingly fears sabotage by anti-war elements in Russia

The Russian leadership is increasingly concerned about acts of sabotage against the country’s key infrastructure by its own citizens who oppose the war in Ukraine, the British Ministry of Defense said on Wednesday.

In London, the Kremlin is said to be concerned that internal opposition to the war in Ukraine has now reached a point where anti-war groups are committing sabotage, the British ministry said, citing an explosion on a railway line in southern Russia’s Belgorod region on Monday. .

The situation arose after Ukraine said Vladimir Putin’s forces were now preparing for “tougher fighting” in the strategic city of Kherson, which Russia illegally claimed in a bogus referendum last month.

β€œThe Russians are renewing their forces and strengthening their presence there,” warned Aleksey Arestovich, a close associate of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. β€œThat means no one is going to retire. On the contrary, the most serious battles will be fought for Kherson,” he added.

Earlier, Russia told the UN Security Council that Ukraine was preparing to use a “dirty bomb”.
