The UK is set to support plans for a Nuremberg-style trial of Vladimir Putin and other Russian leaders for war crimes committed during the invasion of Ukraine. The proposed tribunal, modelled after the post-WWII trials of Nazi leaders, would prosecute Russian generals and leaders for "crimes of aggression" defined by the United Nations as invasion or attack on another state's territory. The UK and other Western countries will back proposals at the Council of Europe to put Russians on trial for war crimes committed in Ukraine since February 2022.

Russian oligarch-owned superyachts are believed by defence sources to have been involved in covert maritime operations around the British Isles prior to Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. These vessels, which carry mini-submarines and unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs), were likely used for reconnaissance purposes to scout undersea cables that connect Britain to other countries. The suspected involvement of these superyachts adds to concerns over Russia's ability to disrupt vital energy pipelines, electrical cables, and offshore energy hubs that are critical to Britain's functioning.

A Russian state media propagandist threatened King Charles with a "ceremonial" nuclear bomb, urging him to pack his 72-hour emergency suitcase.
