Andrei Kelin the Russian ambassador to the UK has warned Kyiv’s recent “Spiderweb” drone attack on Russian airbases destroying Vladimir Putin’s strategic nuclear bombers which risks “World War III.”
Kelin warned that Ukraine’s Sunday night attack risks escalating the conflict into a nuclear war as Kyiv is “bringing the conflict to a different level of escalation.”
The Russian ambassador told Sky News, “That’s the very worst case scenario that we can imagine.”

He added, “[This] kind of attack involves, of course, provision of very high technology, so-called geospaced data, which only can be done by those who have it in possession.
“I don’t believe that America [is involved], that has been denied by President Trump, definitely, but it has not been denied by London.
“And this is London and Washington. We perfectly know how much London is involved, how deeply British forces are involved in working together with Ukraine.”
This comes after Ukraine delivered a spectacular “Spiderweb” drone attack on Russia targeting four airbases obliterating $7 billion of war planes including the strategic nuclear capable bombers in an operation that “will undoubtedly be in the history books.”
The Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed late on Sunday evening that “Spiderweb” operators of the Security Services (SBU) had invaded Russian airfields destroying $7 billion of military aircraft.
The President wrote on social media the operation was dubbed as “Spiderweb” which gave an “absolutely brilliant result.”
But a former British army commander Colonel Richard Kemp has warned that Vladimir Putin could end up using tactical nuclear weapons in response.
Kemp wrote in the Daily Mail Russia has suffered “far more badly than the Kremlin ever believed possible.”
Colonel Kemp believes that a retaliatory tactical nuclear strike is may now be on the table as Putin is more afraid of “appearing weak.”
Kemp wrote, “There will be retaliation. The Russian president, afraid more than anything of appearing weak, cannot be seen to let such a devastating attack go unanswered.”
By using tactical nuclear weapons in response to the “Spiderweb” attacks this could force Kyiv to surrender, Kemp added, “the appalling reality is that such a calculation might be right.”
He gave four possible scenarios Putin could use, there could be a nuclear attack near to the front lines, a strike on an Ukrainian airfield which would kill NATO allies who are operating covertly.
Thirdly there could be a direct attack on a major city such as Odesa or even the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv or lastly an attack on a nuclear power station which would be far worse than Chernobyl.
Colonel Kemp wrote, “The death toll would reach hundreds of thousands.
“And even then, Putin might believe that NATO would not respond in kind. He could be insane enough to think that this would win the war for him at a stroke.”
