TV host says Russia should have bombed UK during Queen’s funeral
<p dir="ltr">A Russian state TV presenter has declared that Moscow should have bombed the UK during Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Host of <em>Russia-1 </em>Olga Skabeyeva was speaking about the Queen’s funeral to fellow panellist Andrey Gurulyov, a retired military commander and deputy in the Russian federal assembly.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Mr Gurulyov was saying Russia should “nuke” the UK because all world leaders are there for the late monarch’s funeral.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“We should have done it today, all the best people are there for the funeral,” Ms Skabeyeva responds in agreement.</p>
<p dir="ltr">"Why would we bomb Ukraine or Germany, when there is Britain, the root of evil?” Mr Gurulyov then asks.</p>
<p dir="ltr">"When Britain is turned into a Martian desert, will they defend a Martian desert as per their fifth article? There will be nothing left."</p>
<p dir="ltr">His comment is in regards to Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) which says an attack on a NATO ally is an attack on all other members.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“I assure you, everyone will back down, they will not use the strategic nuclear forces,” he continued.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Russia and Ukraine have been battling it out since February 24, 2022, after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a “special military operation”.</p>
