Vladimir Putin ordered his TV propagandists to threaten ‘nation of freaks’ Britain with 24 hours notice to leave – or be sunk under a nuclear tidal wave.
And despite calling a three-day unilateral ceasefire in Ukraine starting today, his Kremlin-paid studio warriors vowed to wipe cities Kyiv and Lviv off the map in the coming days.
Russia propaganda broadcasts are choreographed by the Putin regime, and the new bilious tone is more anti-British than ever, blaming London for leading the West in standing up for – and arming – Ukraine.
Pro-Putin war fanatic and propagandist Igor Markov, an ex-Ukrainian MP, asked: ‘Don’t we understand that [Britain] is waging a war against us?
‘Ukraine is a proxy. Britain is waging all these drones….
‘How long can we tolerate this?
‘Can’t we find some former British colony that would suddenly….want to take revenge for centuries or years of humiliation, that would suddenly [be given] hypersonic missiles and drones…?
‘And start burning British ports, British ships….submarines.
‘Until they begin to feel on their own skin the evil that they bring, they will not calm down.’

Vladimir Solovyov said the answer was to launch Putin’s new Poseidon high-speed nuclear-armed underwater drone at Britain, creating a tidal wave which would drown the population

Markov claimed he had been twice to Britain: ‘I, as a simple citizen, saw so many ugly people, a degenerating nation.
‘If a pretty woman walks past, she is either Slavic or Italian…
‘What a nation of freaks, degenerates!
‘So vile, cynical. And skilled in their vileness. What a nightmare….
‘Why have the British been pestering us for centuries?’
But Putin’s top propagandist Vladimir Solovyov said the answer was to launch Putin’s new Poseidon high-speed nuclear-armed underwater drone at Britain, creating a tidal wave which would drown the population.
Frothing Solovyov said: ‘I have friends in Britain – wonderful people, beautiful by the way…
‘You just need to tell them: ‘Guys, you have 24 hours, either learn to breathe underwater….or leave [Britain].’
A similar chilling threat was issued against Ukraine, with military expert Andrei Klintsevich telling state TV viewers that Putin will make major decisions on the war on 10 or 11 May.

Solovyov said that Russia had the capability of drowning millions with tidal nuclear weapons
Solovyov warned Ukraines: ‘Everything is going towards this anyway.
‘There will be no Lviv or Kyiv – these cities will not exist.
‘We will rebuild them later.
‘Therefore, I strongly advise the residents of these cities to leave urgently now.
‘Leave the employees of the military recruitment centres, local authorities, SBU, military facilities there..
‘And civilians urgently need to leave these cities.
‘Take everything you have and go to Poland, well, anywhere.
‘If there are too many of you, they won’t be able to block the border.
‘You’ll break the border.’
Putin will on Friday stage a massive military show of strength in Moscow’s Red Square, ostensibly to mark the end of the Second World War in Europe.
The parade is seen as a warning to Ukraine and Europe of further military adventures by the Kremlin.
