Russian Intelligence claims Ukraine-UK jointly conducted false flag op against US Navy
Moscow, June 16 (UNI) Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) said today, that the UK and Ukraine have jointly participated in a false flag operation against Russia in the Baltic Sea, by firing an alleged Russian torpedo at a US Navy ship.
The SVR called it one of the several ongoing scenarios of anti-Russian provocations in the Baltic Sea, to keep the war going.
"According to the information coming to the SVR, amid growing problems for Ukraine's Armed Forces (AFU) on the front lines and the widespread moral exhaustion among Ukrainian people in the rear, the Zelensky regime is intending to escalate the subversive and terrorist activity against Russia," the SVR press bureau said in a statement, according to state-media TASS.
"The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) and the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Defence Ministry (GUR MO) have been instructed to collaborate closely with European intelligence services in order to carry out bloody provocations."
"The Ukrainians together with the UK are currently preparing provocations in the Baltic Sea. One of the scenarios involves staging an alleged Russian torpedo attack on a US Navy ship," the SVR statement read.
Ukraine has already begun handing the Soviet/Russian-made torpedoes over to the UK, the SVR said in a statement.
"The Soviet/Russian-made torpedoes have already been handed over by the Ukrainian side to the UK. It is planned that some of them will explode at a 'safe distance' from the US ship, while one will not explode and will be presented to the public as evidence of Russia's 'malicious activity," the statement read.
Kiev is ready to execute the provocation with a torpedo attack on a US Navy ship, the SVR said.
Another scenario of a possible anti-Russian provocation in the Baltic Sea could be the UK and Ukraine, alongside with their North-European associates "accidentally" catching a Russian-made anchor mines allegedly set for sabotage in the international maritime route, the statement read.
"The main goals of such subversive activities are to achieve escalation of the Ukrainian conflict, disrupt the US-Russian negotiation process, and convince the White House of the need to continue full-scale military assistance to Kiev," the statement added.
It went on to slam the Ukrainian government, calling Kiev 'the perfect perpetrator of heinous provocations and terrorist attacks for the 'Perfidious Albion,' ready to do the dirty work,' calling Ukraine a 'professional warmonger' playing with 'major nuclear powers.' UNI ANV SSP

Round Two: ACB grills KTR for 7 hrs
Hyderabad: Sleuths of the Anti-Corruption Bureau on Monday grilled BRS working president KT Rama Rao for over seven hours at ACB office in round two in the case pertaining to alleged irregularities in the Formula E Race. That done, the ACB sleuths asked KTR to surrender by Wednesday the mobile phone used by him during the race and alerted him that he could be called again for questioning. KTR had told the officials during questioning that he did not bring his mobile. On January 8 too, he was grilled for seven hours. Earlier in the day, party leaders and members reached Telangana Bhavan in large numbers expressing solidarity with their leader who had come there before going to the ACB office. The inquiry, which started at 10:00 am, ended at 6 pm during which the investigating authorities questioned KTR about alleged misuse of government funds for a private event and giving oral instructions for transferring money to a foreign company. According to sources, three officials of the ACB together asked KTR over 60 questions seeking clarifications from the former minister. They also asked questions on the statement of the FEO Company. After recording the submissions made by the BRS leader, the ACB officials told KTR that they would be calling him once again for the inquiry. It is learnt that the officials tried to get hold of the mobile phone of the BRS leader while he was in the inquiry room. However, KTR seems to have told the officials that he did not bring his mobile phone to their office. The officials then asked the BRS leader to surrender the mobile phone he had used during the Formula E Race by June 18. Talking to the media later, KTR said that it was a 'petty case' and that there were useless questions during the inquiry and nothing more than that. 'Revanth Reddy can't do anything to me. At the most, he may send me to jail for 15 days,' said KTR. Earlier in the day, tense moments prevailed at Telangana Bhavan where there was heavy police bandobast as there was a meeting of the Cabinet ministers in the Integrated Command Control Center (ICCC). Although BRS activists came to the Telangana Bhavan in large numbers in support of their leader, the police personnel locked the main gate of the building to stop any movement towards the Integrated Command Control Center, where the Chief Minister and other Ministers were supposed to come. The police personnel tried to shutter commercial establishments in the vicinity. Following protests by BRS activists, the police later removed the locks.

Trump Says Russia Sanctions Would Cost US ‘a Lot of Money'
US President Donald Trump indicated at the Group of Seven summit that he is in no rush to impose tougher sanctions on Russia, dismissing pressure from allied leaders eager to do more to push Moscow to the negotiating table. The US president has repeatedly said he is considering new economic penalties on Russia, but has declined to follow through. Asked why he is still waiting, Trump told reporters that he wants to see 'whether or not a deal is signed' and expressed concern over the impact imposing sanctions would have on the US. 'Don't forget, you know, sanctions cost us a lot of money. When I sanction a country that costs the US a lot of money, a tremendous amount of money,' Trump said at the summit in Alberta, Canada. 'It's not just, let's sign a document you're talking about billions and billions of dollars. Sanctions are not that easy. It's not just a one way street.' European leaders have pushed Trump on new sanctions, arguing that it is critical to forcing Russian President Vladimir Putin to negotiate in better faith to end his war in Ukraine — now well into its fourth year. Putin has declined calls for a ceasefire and for direct face-to-face negotiations with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, and has offered only maximalist demands for territory. Trump has shown frustration with both Moscow and Kyiv, saying at a meeting earlier this month with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz that perhaps other nations should 'let them fight for a while,' spurring further consternation among allies worried the US president will abandon Kyiv. Asked about European calls for sanctions, Trump responded: 'Europe is saying that, but they haven't done it yet. Let's see them do it first.'
