Putin will exploit Middle East chaos to hit Europe with never-seen-before attack, Ukraine warns as tyrant meets Iranians
VLADIMIR Putin could be plotting to exploit the crisis in the Middle East to launch an attack on Europe, a Ukrainian government insider has warned.
The alarm was raised as today Putin became the first world leader to meet the Iranians after US President Donald Trump launched a wave of strikes on the Ayatollah’s nuclear sites.




Russia has warned Trump has opened up a “Pandora’s Box” with his B-2 bomber blitz over the weekend – which Vlad himself slammed as “unprovoked aggression”, despite his own illegal war in Ukraine.
However, a senior Ukrainian insider warned Putin will be rubbing his hands with glee as he plans to exploit the crisis while the West’s eyes are turned to the Middle East.
The cunning tyrant may even attempt to mimic Ukraine’s elaborate Spiderweb operation that blitzed strategic targets inside Russia.
A Ukrainian source told The Sun: “The West should be prepared that the Spiderweb operation may be reconfigured and deployed by Russia as a hybrid attack on any Nato Eastern flank nation.
“That would be the major Article 5 test that the Alliance has not experienced yet.”
Humiliated Putin was left reeling after Ukraine’s spectacular raid that – after 18 months of planning – inflicted billions of pounds worth of damage, leaving his bomber fleet in tatters.
Daring agents smuggled drones and explosives deep inside the sprawling country before unleashing a coordinated assault on June 1.
More than 100 drones were hidden in trucks across Russia before being deployed to five air bases – thousands of kilometres from the Ukrainian border.
At least 41 of Putin’s prized aircraft were wrecked in the attack – including Tu-95, Tu-22M3, and Tu-160 bombers and A-50 spy planes.
Delivering such a decisive blow has left Ukraine’s enemy scrambling.
But a Ukrainian government insider has warned it would also have left Putin’s cronies eager to learn from the clandestine operation – and look to mimic it.
The source said it could spell disaster if Vlad uses it as a blueprint to launch an attack on a European country.
They told The Sun: “We have seen how quickly Russia managed to adapt and learn from Ukraine.
“It’s not only Nato states that are learning lessons from Ukraine, it’s the adversaries too.
“There was a time when Russia was two months behind Ukraine in its drone technology, now it is ahead with fibreoptic drones.
“Ukraine is catching up and trying to develop techniques to best tackle those.
“We have already seen Russian espionage and sabotage acts in Europe.
“We can now be almost 100 per cent sure that they have taken on the Spiderweb as an example of something they can mimic in, for example, one of the Baltic states.
“That’s where the attribution of the operation will be very hard to achieve, but the consequences could be quite significant both for the country/countries in question and for the unity of Nato.”
The insider believes conniving Putin could sign off an assault while world leaders grapple with the spiralling conflict in the Middle East.
With the Trump administration turning its sights to Israel and Iran, and security challenges in China, Europe has largely been left to fend for itself.
After more than a week of Israel and Iran trading blows, Trump unleashed bombs on three nuclear sites in Iran – with Tehran threatening to retaliate.


It comes as the EU’s top diplomat warned Moscow has a plan for long-term aggression against Europe.
EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas last week said Putin’s determination to throw huge sums of money at his military suggests he is scheming to use his armed forces elsewhere.
She pointed to the fact Russia is spending more on defence than the EU’s 27 nations combined.
Megalomanic Putin is set to invest more on defence than his nation’s heath care, education and social policy combined, Kallas said.
She warned lawmakers in Strasbourg, France: “This is a long-term plan for a long-term aggression. You don’t spend that much on military if you do not plan to use it.
“Europe is under attack and our continent sits in a world becoming more dangerous.”
Both Kallas and the Ukrainian source noted a series of acts of sabotage and cyberattacks – including Russian airspace violations and attacks on energy grids, pipelines and undersea cables.
The insider added: “Russia never misses out on devious and cunning techniques. Especially with the upcoming Nato summit.
'UK must bolster defence or pay will blood of its people', Penny Mordaunt warns

by Katie Davis, Chief Foreign Reporter (Digital)
BRITAIN will pay with the blood of its people if more money isn’t spent to bolster the UK’s defence, Penny Mordaunt has warned.
The ex-defence secretary has urged the government to “wake up” and fund the UK’s security properly before it’s too late.
Former Navy reservist Mordaunt argued that Britain is “emboldening our enemies” if we fail to invest in other forms of deterrence.
She warned the consequences with be “incalculably grave” if the government does not open up the treasury purse.
Ms Mordaunt told The Sun: “I’m confident that if you prepare for war, you invest in it, you train for it, then conflicts don’t start.
“Because your foes know it is not worth them doing that. They’re going to lose.
“The consequences of retaliation against them are too great.”
“During last year’s summit, China was conducting military exercises in Belarus, sending a clear signal.
“Russia may be distraught with the fact that one of its strongest allies in this war against Ukraine is getting bombarded, but at the same time, they may well use the opportunity of Europe being distracted and the US fully withdrawn to conduct a hybrid attack on Europe.”
Acts of sabotage have previously been pegged at attempts to undermine Europe’s support of Ukraine by military officials and experts.
But there are fears Russia could test Nato’s Article 5 security guarantee that pledges an attack on any of the allies would be met with a collective response.
And with no sign of a peace deal being thrashed out between Moscow and Kyiv despite international pleas after more than three years of war, an assault on the EU appears to loom closer.
Germany’s foreign intelligence service (BND) Bruno Kahl last week warned against underestimating Russia’s threat to the West.
He told the Table Today podcast: “We are very certain, and we have intelligence evidence for this, that Ukraine is just a step on the path to the West.
“They want to catapult Nato back to the state it was in at the end of the 1990s. They want to kick America out of Europe, and they’ll use any means to achieve that.”
It comes as Nato heads of state are set to meet at a crunch two-day summit this week in The Hague – with setting a new target for allied defence spending the primary issue up for discussion.
Allied nations are expected to agree a new defence investment pledge and pour billions of dollars into elevating security-related spending.

Convicted drink drivers in Ireland may need to do breath test each time before starting engine under new plans
CONVICTED drink drivers in Ireland may need to do breath test each time before they start their engines under new road safety plans.
Aimed at slashing road deaths, the plan is one of many proposed in the next phase of the Government’s Road Safety Strategy.

The Government is preparing the next phase of its Road Safety Strategy with a focus on tougher rules and new tech to keep dangerous drivers off the roads.
Transport Minister Darragh O’Brien is set to bring the Phase 2 plan to Cabinet for approval in the coming weeks.
The goal is to cut road deaths and serious injuries by half before 2030, and work towards zero fatalities by 2050.
That means reducing annual fatalities to 72 by the year 2030 – a major decrease from the 172 people who died on Irish roads last year.
And so far this year, 77 lives have already been lost in crashes.
One of the changes being proposed is the use of Alcohol Ignition Interlocks – breathalysers that stop the engine from starting if the driver is over the limit.
The draft report reads: “The MBRS (Medical Bureau of Road Safety) tested and approved a number of interlock products in phase one of the strategy, to support the voluntary uptake of these devices, particularly by organisations with large vehicle fleets.
“In phase two, proposals will be brought forward, based on expert medical research, for the possible mandatory use of alcohol interlocks, alongside rehabilitation courses, as a sanction for drunk driving in certain cases.”
These devices could become mandatory for convicted drink drivers and possibly even professional drivers in future phases.
The strategy also outlines penalties for drink driving under two categories – general road use and work-related driving.
The wider plan includes seven “priority areas,” covering everything from safer roads and vehicles to better emergency response after crashes.
Speed limits are also being reviewed, with a push to cut limits on national secondary roads from 100kph to 80kph and roll out more 30kph zones in towns and cities.
And cameras are set to play a huge role in the plan — not just for speeding but also to catch phone use, seatbelt dodgers and other risky driving behaviour.
Gardai would also get a digital upgrade, with new systems tracking offences and helping manage traffic in real time.
There’s also a push to cut back on how much we drive, to help tackle pollution and traffic congestion as part of a bigger climate plan.
‘This strategy must be ambitious’
The Road Safety Authority will review and publish crash data every two years and look at hospital records to better understand injury trends.
The “Rules of the Road” guide will also be updated to reflect these changes and keep drivers informed.
In a statement, Transport Minister Darragh O’Brien said: “We need to be ambitious over the lifetime of this strategy. That is why we have set a target of cutting the number of deaths and serious injuries by half by 2030.
“It must be ambitious if we are to protect all our road users including pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists, horse riders, drivers, passengers,
whether young or old.
“However, this strategy will prioritise the safety of those who are most vulnerable, ensuring their right to travel the roads
safely is protected.”

Liam Delap ready to bring even MORE aggression to Chelsea front line after wild Nicolas Jackson red card
LIAM DELAP chose Rocky’s hometown as the place to declare himself ready to rumble at Chelsea.
Their new £30million striker is a world away from the famous ‘Italian Stallion’ given he was born in Winchester.


And he sits down on a comfy chair in the luxurious Jean-Groges restaurant on the 60th floor of downtown Philly’s sumptuous Four Seasons hotel, looking immaculate in a box-fresh club tracksuit.
But Delap is proud of the fact he loves a scrap on the pitch, within reason of course.
No player was booked more times than him last season with Ipswich Town.
A dozen yellow cards as he walked the line for a team fighting for survival in the Premier League relegation zone. As many cautions as goals.
He is bringing that to his new club and has already shown glimpses of the aggression which is in his DNA.
Refusing to cower to defenders, claiming a classy assist on his debut, throwing a football at the bowed head of Flamengo midfielder Jorginho, formerly of Chelsea, then apologising seconds later.
It’s not boxing. It’s not beanie-hatted Sly Stallone throwing right hooks into hanging slabs of cow in the meatpacking district, but it is the kind of centre forward fans love. And Delap is ready to deliver.
He said: “Yeah, I love those battles. I always have since I was a kid. I really love the aggressive side of it and the competitive nature of the squad. It’s got to be controlled at times but it’s my game ultimately and I enjoy it.

“I’ve always had that same edge as a kid and I’m not going to change the way my mindset is. You’ve just got to make sure you’re on the right side of the edge.
“I played every sport in school. Anything that could get me out of a lesson. I just enjoyed the competitive nature of it, whether it was rugby or rounders.


“Last season was my first playing in the Premier League, playing with VAR so it’s something that I’m going to have to get used to and work my way around to try and get less yellow cards.
“But it’s not something I’m worried about. I think I can control my emotions when I need to. Maybe I’m a little bit old school but it is the way I play and I don’t want to change it.”
Juggling the actions of leading the line and getting into trouble is a difficult balancing act.
Delap has been signed to put pressure on current Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson – currently suspended in both the Club World Cup and Premier League for getting a little too physical.
You could argue that they are two of a kind. Delap played a large part of last season with broken ribs to valiantly battle away for Ipswich when they were on the ropes.
Centre forwards win people over by getting stuck in. Jackson was sent off four minutes after coming on in Friday’s disastrous 3-1 defeat by Flamengo for putting his studs into an opposing defender’s shin.
Delap said: “Everyone playing football plays close to the edge a little bit. You have to be aggressive, on the front foot all the time.

“I was right in front of it when it happened. It was so unlucky. He has obviously not meant to do it. These things happen in football and I am sure he will get over it.
“With the size of the club there’s always going to be competition and I think players thrive off that competition. You’re going to work that little bit harder and try to compete.
“It’s Chelsea, it’s going to be tough and it’s going to be competitive. And that’s what you relish.”
Delap, 22, harbours ambitions to win big with his new club. He fits the club model of promising young player with plenty of potential.
He has signed a six year contract and opted for the Club World Cup rather than Euro 2025 with England Under-21s as he looks to bed in.
There’s history with Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca from their days together at Manchester City. And a reunion with former City academy players Cole Palmer and Romeo Lavia.
Delap said: “I’ve got a good relationship with the manager. I know how he plays. I’ve played in his system before.
“I know a lot of the players here and the project of the club, how they see the future. That’s what excited me.
“We’ve got a good core of English boys here. I’ve spent a lot of time with them. I obviously know a few people here already so I’ve been spending time with them.
“I’ve known Cole since I was 15, playing at City with him. I’ve got a good relationship with him so it was nice to see a familiar face.
“I had my sights set on the Euros all season and I was really looking forward to that. But I signed here and they wanted me to be here. I want to be here as well. I need to get to know everyone so that’s why I’m here.”
Ipswich turned to famous superfan Ed Sheeran to persuade Delap to sign for them last summer and leave behind Manchester City. Delap said: “Yeah I had a little FaceTime with him.
“I think he was heavily involved with Ipswich so it was nice to speak to him.
“It was just a token that Ed was really involved in Ipswich and a lot of people were close to him.”
Chelsea had the simple magnetism of Champions League football – which means a bigger spotlight on him now.
Delap said: “I am just here to play football. I don’t look at everything from the outside. I am at a big club now but my mind is strong enough to not let it affect me.
“It is hard to ignore at times but it is just how you take it and you can brush it aside and stay confident.
“I’m really excited. One of the reasons I started playing football was to play in the Champions League.”

Coronation Street’s Brooke Vincent looks incredible as she strips to a swimsuit & eats McDonalds on rowdy birthday bash
CORONATION Street’s Brooke Vincent looked incredible as she flaunted her enviable figure in a swimsuit during a sun-soaked Dubai getaway.
The former soap star was seen living it with pals in the UAE sunshine during a rowdy trip away.



Brooke looked fantastic as she wowed in a black cut-out swimsuit as she posed by the ocean.
The Sophie Webster star and her friends were living it up to celebrate one of their circle’s 30th birthday and marked the occasion with the joyous trip.
They headed out into the middle of the ocean where they relaxed on a luxury floating decking that came complete with its own pool and plenty of sun-loungers.
Brooke could even be seen sat atop an inflatable duck in one snap as it was clear the mum-of-two was really letting her hair down.
The pals could then be seen scoffing down McDonald’s later into the night as they were surrounded by the brown paper bags from the popular fast food chain.
She later shared even more posts of herself as she switched into a brand new swimming costume, complete with leopard-print detail.
Wowing over Brooke in the comments section, one fan said: “Gorj as always.”
TV star Vicky Pattison then added: “A goddess.”
Someone else penned: “Wow you look fantastic super figure.”
Before a fourth wrote: “You look amazing. So natural so beautiful.”
Brooke’s trip away comes after she sparked rumours she could be making a Corrie comeback as she joined the show’s current cast for a leaving party in Manchester.
Colson Smith was surrounded by his co-stars for the outing after he was axed from his role but Brooke made a surprise appearance too.
It left many wondering if this was a sure-fire sign that she had secretly made a return to the programme.
