Previously, scientists said Britain had made sure Russia would disappear in a matter of seconds, if Russia launched a counterattack using a nuclear bomb. Today, Britain is one of the most vocal countries condemning Russia's attack on Ukraine, apart from supplying the Kyiv army with weapons to counter Moscow's advances.

nuclear scientist from Cardiff University, Prof. Campbell Craig, meanwhile, said he couldn't imagine what the world would be like and the repercussions if World War Three did break out. he claimed most cities in Russia, Europe, and the United States would be targeted and destroyed if a nuclear war broke out between Moscow and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
