A pundit for a Russian state broadcaster has threatened nuclear war in a television rant.
Former Conservative minister Rory Stewart shared online what he described as a "terrifying glimpse from Russian state TV". The footage shows a monologue from pundit Sergey Mikheev in a panel show on the state-owned Russia 1 channel.
"There is a simple thing we need to tell Europe," said Mikheev. "You will get a nuclear strike if you gather some kind of peacekeeping contingent by NATO or decide to relocate it somewhere and so on and so forth. This is going to be a nuclear war... Brave Poles, there will be nothing left of your Warsaw in 30 seconds. Brave Germans, so to say. Brave Estonians. Brave Baltics."
