It came as Mad Vlad Putin vowed World War Three if the West allows British missiles to be fired on Russia by Ukraine.

But last night Sir Keir Starmer told The Sun the Kremlin tyrant “started it.”

Putin yesterday warned granting permission for the Ukranians to use British and French kit to pound targets deep within Russian territory would mean war.

He said: “This would in a significant way change the very nature of the conflict… It would mean that Nato countries are at war with Russia.”

Last night the Kremlin accused six British diplomats of espionage and revoked their accreditation, according to Russian news outlets.

The FSB, Russia’s secret service, hasn’t named any of the six diplomats but insisted that they were a threat to the pariah state’s security.

The ageing despot made the comments about the use of Nato-member missiles to Russian state-controlled TV on Thursday.

Answering a question about the probable outcome, Putin added: “If that’s the case, then taking into account the change of nature of the conflict, we will take the appropriate decisions based on the threats that we will face.”

But plucky Sir Keir batted away the threat saying: “Russia started this conflict. Russia illegally invaded Ukraine. Russia can end this conflict straight away. 

“Ukraine has the right to self defence, and obviously we’ve been absolutely fully supportive of Ukraine’s right to self defence, providing training capabilities. 

“But we don’t seek any conflict with Russia, that’s not our intention in the slightest. But they started this conflict, and Ukraine’s got a right to self defence.”

Zelensky has continuously demanded more air defence systems and increased armaments from the West to aid in the conflict.

But Mad Vlad stated that the choice of whether or not to grant these demands rested with the NATO members’ desire to be “directly involved in the conflict.”

But they are not pushing for peace talks or “trying to dictate” battlefield plans, the officials added.
