A RUSSIAN lawmaker and Putin friend have warned Liz Truss that it would just take one Sarmat nuclear missile to destroy Britain.

 On Wednesday of last week, the Foreign Secretary delivered a powerful and passionate speech in which she emphasized the UK’s intention to defeat Putin in Ukraine. The Tory MP told an audience at Mansion House in London that the British government intends to drive the Russian dictator out of Ukraine entirely. Her words follow the aggressive remarks made by the US Defense Secretary on a recent visit to Kyiv.

According to Lloyd Austin, the US aimed to “weaken” Russia so that it would never be able to start similar wars again.

The rhetorical escalation by Western politicians and officials has infuriated Russia’s Putin and his followers.

Putin has now retaliated by telling the Foreign Secretary and her Cabinet that the United Kingdom is squarely in Russia’s nuclear crosshairs.

 Liz Truss was playing with fire, according to Sergey Mironov, leader of the Just Russia faction in the Duma.

 “Someone tell Liz that one Sarmat missile is enough to wipe out the islands of Britain,” he remarked in a mocking address.

“Maybe she just doesn’t get it,” he added.
