British households are being urged to prepare 72-hour survival kits amid fears that Russia could sabotage the UK’s energy infrastructure. Citing security experts, the Daily Mail reports concerns over possible attacks in the North Sea, as the UK faces an unstable power grid due to overreliance on imports and the push for renewables. The UK government has not officially advised citizens to stock kits, but critics warn of rising vulnerability. Moscow denies any sabotage plans, calling such claims “absurd” and accusing the West of fueling anti-Russia hysteria for geopolitical leverage.
