Russia’s best-known propagandist has threatened to break up the United Kingdom and nuke England, while sparing Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The UK has been a recurrent target of Russian propaganda for being at the forefront of aid to Ukraine.
Vladimir Solovyov, the Russian state television host who gained notoriety in recent years for urging Russia to attack Europe, zeroed in on the UK as he mocked Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, chief of the British Armed Forces, for suggesting that Russia would be posing a threat to the world for the next decade.
Mr Solovyov, whose luxury properties near Lake Como were confiscated by the Italian government shortly after the start of the “special operation”, suggested that Moscow could wipe out the UK with just one Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile.
Mr Solovyov, however, said on Rossiya 1 that Russia would not harm Scotland or Wales if it decided to strike the British Isles. “We won’t touch Scotland. Scotland will be independent,” he said. “Wales has been quiet so far. Wales, too, will be independent. And at Biden’s request, Northern Ireland will unite with Ireland.”
