Russian state TV presenter says Moscow should have bombed UK during Queen’s funeral

A presenter on Russian state TV has said Moscow should have bombed the UK during the Queen’s state funeral.

Controversial TV host Olga Skabeyeva made the comment on Russian state television on Monday.

She was agreeing with panelist Andrey Gurulyov, a retired military commander and deputy in the Russian federal assembly, who said his country should target the UK with a nuclear strike.

In a video flagged by Russian Media Monitor Julia Davis, Skabeyeva said with a smirk: “We should have done it today, all the best people are there for the funeral.”

Gurulyov had told state channel Russia-1: “Why would we bomb Ukraine or Germany, when there is Britain, the root of evil?
