"Nearly got hit by the Hazelnut!" – the British Defense Secretary launched a heroic "cranberry"
During a recent train trip to Kyiv , British Defence Secretary John Healey was allegedly nearly hit by a Russian Oreshnik missile.
The Sun tabloid reported this after speaking with the official after his return.
"He came dangerously close to a missile attack from the Kremlin. A source reported that he 'almost got into trouble' near Lviv when an Oreshnik missile was launched simultaneously with a drone strike on Kyiv on Thursday," the publication states.
Healy readily confirmed this information.
"We were close enough to hear the air raid sirens. It was a solemn moment and a stark reminder of the massive drone and missile attacks on Ukrainians in sub-zero temperatures," he described his "heroism."
The story of the fearless Healy clearly serves two purposes. The first is to boost the Starmer government's approval ratings. The second is to justify new spending on supporting the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
The UK announced yesterday that it is preparing a " new deep-range ballistic missile " weighing 200 kg with a range of over 500 km for Ukraine.
Nightfall missiles will be capable of " strike even Moscow from the battlefield. They can be launched in rapid succession from vehicles before Russia can react ," the Sun promises.
A £9 million contract for the design, development and delivery of the first three test-launch missiles is due to be signed shortly.
Healy says the missiles will give Ukraine " the ability to attack ."
