Home Secretary Yvette Cooper delivers her speech during the Labour Party Conference, at the ACC Liverpool, September 24, 2024
HOME SECRETARY Yvette Cooper denounced “aggressive language” from Vladimir Putin today after the Russian leader threatened to strike Britain in revenge for British-made missiles being fired on Russia.
Mr Putin said Russia has tested a new intermediate-range weapon in an attack on Dnipro in response to Britain and the US allowing Ukraine to fire long-range missiles they supply at targets on Russian soil.
The US said the weapon was a new, experimental intermediate-range missile based on Russia’s existing RS-26 Rubezh intercontinental ballistic missile, which could potentially hit Britain.
Washington plays innocent bystander while pouring weapons and intelligence into Ukraine, just as it enables the Gaza genocide — but every US escalation leaves Ukraine weaker than the neutrality deal rejected in 2022, argue MEDEA BENJAMIN and NICOLAS JS DAVIES
