Russia’s President, Vladimir Putin, has pledged to “finish off” Ukraine.

Putin made this statement while aboard a newly commissioned Russian nuclear submarine during his visit to an Arctic naval base.

Speaking to submariners, he said: “Not long ago, I said we’d grind [Ukraine] down now it looks like we’ll finish them off.”

Putin also took aim at the state of the UK economy and its military.

He responded to UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron’s declaration of deploying an Anglo-French ‘reassurance force’ to Ukraine after a ceasefire agreement.

“[Britain] is jumping on us, behaving aggressively… but their economy is, I think, in the ninth or tenth place in the world,” Putin said.

“And their armed forces what is it, 170,000 or 180,000? That’s all the armed forces of the UK!”

In terms of GDP, the UK is the sixth-largest economy globally, while Russia ranks 11th.
