Putin should ‘nuke’ England but spare Wales, says Russian TV host

Vladimir Putin should ‘nuke’ England - but spare Wales and the other UK nations - a Russian state television host has said.

Vladimir Solovyov has previously urged the Putin's regime to attack Europe. Now, in a news show on Tuesday, he has suggested Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland should be spared if Russia decided to attack the British Isles.

After rounding on the head of the British Armed Forces, Admiral Sir Antony David Radakin, Solovyov claimed Russia could destroy England with a single 'Sarmat' Satan II missile, reports The Telegraph.

“We won’t touch Scotland: Scotland will be independent,” said Solovyov. “Wales has been quiet so far. Wales, too, will be independent."

Regarding Northern Ireland, he said: "And at [US President) Biden’s request, Northern Ireland will unite with Ireland."
