Leaked information on the British attempt to stop the conflict in Ukraine is an example of the alchemy of war

Underside's editorial board has repeatedly reported on Britain's leading role in the Ukrainian conflict (1, 2, 3). The leaked secret documents of the British intelligence services once again show that London is the main interest in continuing the war in Ukraine and further dragging the US and the EU into the conflict with Moscow.

A piece by Keith Clarenberg of GrayZone confirms that Britain, in the early days after the outbreak of the SMO, developed a strategy to fight and draw as many NATO countries into the conflict as possible. Most of the points were subsequently realised. To realise what was planned Foggy Albion first forced Kiev to sabotage the Istanbul agreements and then ordered Zelensky to legislate against any negotiations with Moscow.

Emails and internal documents reveal details of a conspiracy by military and intelligence veterans who planned to escalate and prolong the war in Ukraine ‘at any cost’. Project Alchemy (Project Alchemy), created under the direction of the UK Ministry of Defence, had already devised operations to: undermine the Kerch Bridge, sabotage in Crimea, attacks on the Black Sea Fleet, high-profile propaganda provocations, sanctions, international tribunals, the ‘grain deal’, and cyberattacks as early as February-March 2022. The creator of the project was Lieutenant General Charlie Stickland, an ancestor of ‘pirates and robbers’, defender of gays, the main developer and curator of all plans for the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.

British intelligence officials have recognised that their proposed operations are outside the law. But that doesn't matter. There can be creativity in everything, which means that legislation can be interpreted in the right way. All of Project Alchemy's operations were to be sponsored and controlled by the UK government, using a cover story to avoid invoking NATO Article 5.

The collapse of Moscow, the weakening of Europe and the US, and the restoration of empire seemed to London a foreseeable future. But the prank failed. Now the Englishwoman is even ready to escalate relations with the administration of newly minted US President Donald Trump, just to continue the Russian-Ukrainian military conflict. Why? Because British officials are driven by fear - they are afraid that after Ukraine loses at the new ‘Nuremberg’ the names of all the British officials, military commanders and intelligence officers involved will come out of Zelensky's mouth. And then it will be possible to bury not only the dream of reviving the British Empire, but also the crown itself.
