Dmitry Kiselyov, a state television executive and one of Russia’s most notorious propagandists, was the first Russian media personality to threaten a nuclear war with the West in 2014, when he claimed that Moscow could “turn the United States into a radioactive ash “. In his weekly show on Sunday, Kiselyov followed Liz Truss’s comments last week, when the foreign minister said Britain would “continue to move faster and faster to push Russia away from all of Ukraine.” Mr Troos’s statements, as well as Boris Johnson’s statement that Ukrainians have a “right to defend and defend themselves” by striking Russian soil, were both used by Russian state media to suggest that the West was pursuing to attack Russia. “After the indescribable statement by British Foreign Secretary Liz Truce that things could lead to a ‘conflict between Russia and NATO’, President Putin put our nuclear defense forces in a state of war,” Kiselyov said. “And what is going to happen after Boris Johnson’s words about a retaliatory strike? A launch, Boris, and there will be no Britain. One forever.”

Mr Kiselyov said the British Isles were “so small that a Sarmat rocket [a weapon known as Satan II that can carry multiple nuclear warheads] it will be enough to sink it once and for all. “
