As tensions between Russia and the West continue to soar, there are reports Vladimir Putin has 50 sleeper agents in the United Kingdom positioned, and ready to attack

New intel obtained by MI5 suggests the Russian leader has instructed his undercover agents to be ready to launch cyber warfare.

There are fears the spies will also attempt to steal military information and target Ukrainian activists.

Speaking to the Mirror, sources claim Russian agents have infiltrated a number of key institutions, including top schools and the civil service sector.

This all follows a suspected Moscow spy being arrested just last week, detained under the Official Secrets Act as he attempted to leave the United Kingdom.

Britain’s Home Secretary Priti Patel warns cyber attacks aimed at the West are possible as Putin’s war over Ukraine continues.

We shall not forget the thousands of men, women and children who are being killed every day in Putin’s war of aggression.

The head of the nation’s Cyber Security Centre has given similar indications that a threat is near, urging companies and public service professionals to take “pre-emptive measures” to defend themselves.
