There has been an an alarming rise in nuclear threats on Kremlin-controlled state TV, a leading Russian independent editor and Nobel prize winner has warned.
Dmitry Muratov's claim came as the head of Wagner Yevgeny Prigozhin alleged Vladimir Putin is being told "monstrous" lies by his military chiefs over Russia's "colossal problems" in its resistance to Ukraine’s counteroffensive.
"Over the last two weeks, Russian TV has said 200 times that use of nuclear weapons was possible, and how [exactly it was possible]", revealed Muratov, editor-in-chief of independent investigative newspaper Novaya Gazeta, a title forced into exile by Putin’s repression.
