I wasn’t aware that security services and secret agents announced their intentions in the newspapers.
Priti Patel and Boris Johnson have been warned by MI5 that Vladimir Putin could send an army of saboteurs to attack public infrastructure including power stations.
Britain’s domestic counter-intelligence agency is reportedly on ‘high alert’ amid the fears of Russian agents set to infiltrate the UK.
Threats include ‘deniable’ infrastructure attacks and operations to humiliate the UK government in an effort swing public opinion against Britain’s support for Ukraine.
‘There is a serious concern that officers or agents attached to Russia’s security services may attempt to enter the UK and target strategic locations,’ a security source said.
Well, I suppose that it’s possible, just as a nuclear strike is possible, but unlikely given that it is all over the MoS. I mean, that top secret dossier got leaked somehow. Perhaps someone left it on a train? If I was planning such a move I wouldn’t advertise it. If I’d just uncovered evidence that such an operation was about to happen, I wouldn’t announce it. So, scare tactics is my assessment.
Old Vlad is not stupid.
Never interfere when your enemy is in the process of destroying himself.
Apologies for genders.
The NATO nations are determined to send samples of their top secret weapons to Russia.
First via the Taliban and now via Ukraine.
I worked in Defence Industry and if I had done this I would have been a traitor.
That’s right, and what will they be saying if a javelin takes out a bus in London or DC?
It will be particularly interesting if it is a milk float bus. They seem to burn spectacularly!
Russian agents of influence have been around in this country since the Cold War. Vlad being an old KGB hand, he won’t have had to set up anything new, just carry on using the networks he’s had for ages. It’s an open secret that the anti fracking lot are backed by Russia (no surprise there of course). That quote reads as though a journalist, pretty ignorant of security matters, has picked up a hint that there is a heightened alert (which there probably is, in the circumstances) for attacks aimed at infrastructure and Government credibility and has worked it up into a few column inches.

I thought that was the Americans using the Chinese as a proxy? Clearly I just can’t keep up and must report to a re-education camp somewhere…
