MOSCOW – Andrey Gurulyov, member of the State Duma (Parliament) Russia , calling on the Moscow military to wipe the British off the face of the Earth. The reason, London is the main firebrand in Russian-Ukrainian war .
He made this dangerous call on a Russian television show, the video of which was posted to Twitter with English subtitles by Anton Gerashchenko, adviser to Ukraine’s Interior Minister.
“Attention, Great Britain! Russian propagandists see Britain as the ‘prime agitator’ and want to end the war by ‘inflicting a critical defeat on England,'” Gerashchenko wrote on Thursday as he shared video footage of part of a television show showing Gurulyov.
Gurulyov, who is a retired Russian military commander, is outspoken about the war and frequently criticizes Ukraine’s allies. He also recently predicted that the battle would not end before 2027.
“…The first thing to do is to tear England down, wipe it off the face of the Earth. And in fact, after that, everything will be over. It will be over, because England is the ultimate bastard. [Amerika Serikat] as the master,” Gurulyov said in the video posted by Gerashchenko, as quoted by Newsweek, Friday (24/3/2023).
“The main instigator here in Europe is England. By inflicting a critical defeat on Britain, basically the entire war will end. And then they will start listening to what our president has to say. Immediately, off the bat. They will start listening to what the president of the Republic has to say. The Chinese people. Sooner or later it will happen, and maybe that’s how it ends,” he said.
Chinese President Xi Jinping has met Russian President Vladimir Putin this week in Moscow, demonstrating a sense of Moscow-Beijing unity in the face of Western pressure. The leaders agreed at their meeting to work together on a number of business and economic fronts.
Meanwhile, fighting between Ukrainian and Russian forces has spilled over to major cities, including the suburbs of Kiev, Odesa, and Kherson.
Recently, fighting has intensified in Bakhmut, in Ukraine’s Donetsk region, which has been the site of months of fighting between Russian troops and Moscow mercenaries against Ukrainian forces.
Although Russia’s war is still not over, Ukraine has received humanitarian and military assistance from Western countries. Britain has been one of Ukraine’s main allies, providing the eastern European country with additional tanks and artillery systems earlier this year. In addition, the British Ministry of Defense has provided daily intelligence assessments of the war, which often reveal deficiencies in Russian forces.
