Taoiseach Micheal Martin has called a mock-up clip showing Russia wiping out Ireland with a nuclear weapon “sinister” and said the Russian State TV should apologise.
The clips were broadcast by the State-owned television channel, Russia-1 and introduced by Dmitry Kiselyov, a close associate of Russian president Vladimir Putin.
In the clip, Mr Kiselyov speaks of an attack on the “British Isles” as footage plays of the islands of Ireland and Britain being wiped off the map by a nuclear weapon.
