List of Russia's nuclear targets allegedly 'leaks' citing major US and UK cities
A list of Russia's targets has been allegedly 'leaked' for nuclear strikes.
Global tensions reached a boiling point in 2025, with the Russia-Ukraine war now accompanied by growing hostilities between Israel and Iran, plus the ongoing devastation in Gaza.
Meanwhile, a senior Russian general has warned that World War III might already be starting. And with Putin playing such a central role in global conflicts, any attack on Russian territory could really escalate things further.
Now, Russia's hit list of US and UK targets for potential nuclear strikes has reportedly surfaced as tensions between the West and the Kremlin continue to escalate.

Since the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, relationships between Putin and NATO leaders have deteriorated dramatically, separating Russia from much of the global community.
Despite President Trump's efforts to repair the damage, his recent decision to give NATO the green light to shoot down stray Russian jets at the UN this week basically slammed the door shut on any diplomatic hopes.
Now, a 'leaked' list of Russia's US and UK targets is stirring up more public fear.
Meanwhile, Kremlin propagandists recently suggested the UK cities of Oxford and Cambridge should be attacked with missiles to destroy the 'British elite'.
"We must abandon some of the foolish ideas devised by our predecessors who still say that a nuclear war shouldn't happen and that it can never be won," Sergei Karaganov said in a recent state TV broadcast. "Who really governs Great Britain?" he asked.
Putin seems to have problems with several nations, but more worryingly, the pro-Kremlin TV host Vladimir Solovyov has been openly calling for British casualties.
He replied to Karaganov's question: "Seriously speaking, we've never analysed this issue... We can't seriously think that the bunch of idiots who actually hold power there, pretending to be prime ministers, are actually in charge."
That said, residents of Oxford and Cambridge shouldn't lose sleep over this. Russian propagandists have a long history of setting their crosshairs on the UK and US.
Earlier this year, an alleged 'leaked' target list claimed to threaten a factory in Hull, a shipyard in Cumbria, and some mystery location near Edinburgh.
Plus, military-connected towns like Aldershot, Colchester, Portsmouth, Chatham, Tidworth, and Salisbury are supposedly at risk too.
Over in the US in 2019, a Russian weekly news show suggested new potential targets like the Pentagon and Camp David in Maryland, according to Reuters. Targets also included military training centre Fort Ritchie and a naval communications base in Washington state.
