Details. Speaking on russia's Channel 1 television, Andrey Gurulyov, a State Duma politician, said the UK capital would be hit first if the blockade of the russian exclave Kaliningrad led to war.
“We'll destroy the entire group of enemy's space satellites during the first air operation,” he said. “No-one will care if they are American or British, we would see them all as NATO.”
“Second, we'll mitigate the entire system of anti-missile defence, everywhere and 100%. Third, we certainly won't start from Warsaw, Paris or Berlin. The first to be hit will be London,” he said.
“It's crystal clear that the threat to the world comes from the Anglo-Saxons,” Gurulyov said.
Background. On June 18, Lithuania stopped transporting products that fall under Western sanctions by rail to Kaliningrad.
In russia, Lithuania's actions were called “openly hostile”.
