Russian State TV has responded to Taoiseach Micheal Martin’s request for an apology over a mock-up clip which they broadcast that showed Russia wiping out Ireland with a nuclear weapon.
Russian TV host Dmitry Kiselyov, who is a friend of Vladimir Putin, said “Ireland flew into a rage” after the clip was broadcast. He has claimed that British Prime Minister Boris Johnson should be the one who apologies.
The Taoiseach had condemned the airing of the clip and described it as “sinister” and called for Russian TV or "whoever instigated this" to apologise.
