Russia has issued a chilling warning against Britain after a senior Russian state television presenter called for a nuclear strike on the UK.

Vladimir Solovyov, a well-known supporter of Vladimir Putin, made the comments during a Russian state TV programme as tensions between Russia and Britain continue to grow.

Solovyov called for British arms factories to be targeted and suggested that ships carrying weapons to Ukraine should also be attacked.

He specifically mentioned Russia’s Poseidon underwater nuclear weapon and said Britain should be given three days to prepare before it was used.

“Give the British three days to learn to breathe underwater,” he said, before calling for the weapon to be used against Britain.

The comments came after reports that drones linked to Britain are being used by Ukraine to carry out attacks deep inside Russian territory.

Russian officials and pro-Kremlin commentators have reacted angrily to the reports, warning that Moscow could respond to what they see as Britain’s growing involvement in the war.

Solovyov also called for British journalists to be removed from Russia and demanded that the British Embassy in Moscow be closed.

He described the use of British weapons in attacks inside Russia as part of a wider confrontation between Russia and the West.

Another Kremlin-linked commentator, Vladimir Kornilov, also warned that Britain should be concerned about the reported drone strikes.

He argued that if British weapons were being used to hit targets deep inside Russia, Moscow could decide to respond in a similar way.

The threats have added to growing fears about the possibility of a wider conflict between Russia, Britain and NATO.

However, the comments were made by Russian state television figures and do not by themselves mean that Russia has announced plans to launch a nuclear attack on Britain.

The Poseidon system has been described by Russia as a nuclear-powered underwater drone designed to carry a nuclear warhead. Its capabilities and deployment status have been the subject of continuing debate and concern among Western governments and military experts.

The latest threats come at a time when relations between Moscow and London remain extremely tense, with Britain continuing to support Ukraine in its war against Russia.
