Russia Could Sever Diplomatic Ties With United Kingdom: Kremlin

 

It is perhaps only a matter of time given Britain has long been leading Western allies in taking more and more hawkish, escalatory stances against Moscow throughout the Ukraine conflict: Russia's foreign ministry said in statements published Friday that it could sever diplomatic ties with the UK altogether.

 

In words given to Russia's RT, the foreign ministry cited London's significant involvement against Russia in arming and assisting Ukraine's military, but still said severing of ties would be an "extreme measure" - but which apparently is being mulled nonetheless:

 

The severing of diplomatic ties with the UK would be an “extreme measure,” but Moscow could end up taking the step considering London’s significant involvement in the Ukraine conflict, the Russian Foreign Ministry has warned.

 

RT had approached the foreign ministry over reports that first surfaced in The Wall Street Journal last week saying that "UK special forces from the British Army’s SAS and SRR regiments and the Navy’s SBS units are operating very close to the front lines" in Ukraine.

 

The WSJ presented it as constituting a "split" in policy with Washington, given the White House has held back sending special forces to directly assist the Ukrainians on the front lines of fighting. However, there have long been significant rumors and reports of American operatives, including intelligence, directly supporting the war effort regardless.

 

Russia's foreign ministry said that it is "well aware of consistent efforts by London aimed at providing military assistance to the neo-Nazi regime in Kiev."

 

The British special forces are believed involved in assisting brazen cross-border sabotage and 'terror' operations seen for example days ago in the large-scale attacks on Belgorod.

Why Are US Military Personnel Heading To Peru?

 

The ostensible goal of the operation is to provide “support and assistance to the Special Operations of the Joint Command of the Armed Forces and National Police of Peru,” including in regions recently engulfed in violence.

 

Unbeknown, it seems, to most people in Peru and the US (considering the paucity of media coverage in both countries), US military personnel will soon be landing in Peru. The plenary session of Peru’s Congress last Thursday (May 18) authorised the entry of US troops onto Peruvian soil with the ostensible purpose of carrying out “cooperation activities” with Peru’s armed forces and national police. Passed with 70 votes in favour, 33 against and four abstentions, resolution 4766 stipulates that the troops are welcome to stay any time between June 1 and December 31, 2023.

 

The number of US soldiers involved has not been officially disclosed, at least as far as I can tell, though a recent statement by Mexico’s President Andrés Manuel Lopéz Obrador, who is currently person non grata in Peru, suggests it could be around 700. The cooperation and training activities will take place across a wide swathe of territory including Lima, Callao, Loreto, San Martín, Huánuco, Ucayali, Pasco, Junín, Huancavelica, Iquitos, Pucusana, Apurímac, Cusco and Ayacucho.
