PUTIN has called a secret meeting for tonight after threatening the UK with his new deadly missile as tensions between the West and Russia spill over.
It comes as a top military chief told MPs that Britain would be ready to fight "tonight" should Vladimir Putin strike another Eastern European nation.
A Telegram channel run by journalists from the Kremlin pool chillingly shared that Putin would be holding a secret meeting tonight.
It added that the Kremlin has yet to disclose what it would be about as fears of all-out war loom across the world.
The channel also disclosed that there has been no contact between Russia and the US with hostilities between the two reaching boiling point.
Meanwhile Lieutenant General Rob Magowan made an unsettling statement to the House of Commons defence committee that Britain would be ready to fight.
The military chief said Britain's armed forced would be ready to fight their Russian counterparts "tonight" if mad Vladimir Putin were to invade another Eastern European nation.
The deputy chief of the British defense staff told the committee: "If the British Army was asked to fight tonight, it would fight tonight.
"I don't think anybody in this room should be under any illusion that if the Russians invaded Eastern Europe tonight, then we would meet them in that fight."
He also labelled Russia the "aggressor" and said that the "war could end today if Putin stopped being aggressive".
It comes as the UK gave Ukraine the green light to use British-made Storm Shadow missiles to strike inside Russia.
Ukrainian MPs are preparing for a Russian missile attack on their parliament building after one of the country's ex-top generals eerily claimed World War Three had officially begun.
Putin said on Thursday that his war in Ukraine was escalating towards a global conflict after the US and Britain allowed Ukraine to strike deeper into Russia with Storm Shadow and ATACMS missiles.
He has since warned the West that Moscow could devastatingly strike back.
In direct response to Ukraine's strikes, he said Russia had launched a new kind of hypersonic ballistic missile dubbed "Oreshnik" at a defence enterprise in the Ukrainian city of Dnipro.
This deadly missile, according to Putin, travelled at 10 times the speed of sound and therefore couldn't be intercepted.

Only a lunatic would say they are ready for war.
