Russia should have dropped a nuclear bomb on London while so many world leaders were at the Queen's funeral, a leading Kremlin propagandist has suggested.
Olga Skabeyeva, nicknamed Putin's 'Iron Doll', made the claim on a Moscow TV talk show in response to guest Andrey Gurulev, an MP who branded Britain, "the root of all evil". Skabeyeva, who is married to a Russian politician, was speaking with guests hours after the Queen's funeral about when and where her country could use its nuclear capability after setbacks in its invasion of Ukraine.
Gurulev, a retired general, dismissed claims Russia would strike Ukraine, saying: "We still have to live over there in Ukraine. We have plenty of targets. Ramstein [airbase in Germany] is a good fat one, but it could wait. Why would we bomb Ukraine or Germany when there is Britain - the root of evil?"
