Leading Russian state TV host Dmitry Kiselyov is reportedly on holiday at a luxury Dubai resort just days after simulating a nuclear attack on Ireland.
The host, known as "Putin's mouthpiece", is said to be staying in a five-star hotel with his wife.
The 68-year-old has been a presenter since 1968 and is a very close associate of the Russian leader - making the threats to Ireland and the UK more worrying.
