UK had emergency discussions as Putin almost launched nuclear weapon.

During her time in office, Liz Truss was faced with a frightening possibility - the potential launch of a nuclear weapon by Vladimir Putin. According to a new biography, Ms. Truss spent her final days as Prime Minister diligently preparing for the aftermath of such a catastrophic event. The book claims that American intelligence had provided Ms. Truss with "exquisite" information, indicating there was a 50% chance that Russia could deploy a tactical nuclear weapon in Ukraine or test a larger bomb in the Black Sea.

Concerned for the safety of her country, Ms. Truss spent countless hours studying satellite weather data and wind patterns, fearing that the wrong conditions could lead to a direct fallout effect on Britain. This information was also corroborated by journalist Bob Woodward, who reported that the White House shared the same concerns and believed there was a 50/50 chance of a nuclear launch by Putin.

In response to these alarming reports, US President Joe Biden issued a warning about the direct threat posed by Russia, prompting then-Defence Secretary Ben Wallace to fly to Washington to discuss the crisis. Meanwhile, the UK government made preparations for the potential fallout that could occur at home.

The situation was further complicated as Putin prepared to reclaim territory before the end of Donald Trump's presidency. Approximately 50,000 Russian troops amassed on the borders of the Kursk region, which had been captured by Ukraine over the summer. This raised concerns that Trump's vow to end the conflict in Ukraine on "day one" of his presidency could escalate tensions.

However, a Kremlin spokesman dismissed reports of a phone call between Trump and Putin about the situation as "pure fiction." Trump has also expressed criticism towards the financial support provided to Ukraine by the Biden administration, causing further worries for the country. Against this backdrop, Sir Keir Starmer is set to meet with President Biden and urge for an additional $20 billion in funding for Ukraine, as well as permission for them to use long-range Storm Shadow missiles against Russian targets.

In the face of such uncertainty and potential danger, Liz Truss and her team worked tirelessly to prepare for the worst-case scenario. Their efforts were a testament to their dedication and commitment to the safety and well-being of their country and its citizens.
