“We will destroy the entire group of enemy space satellites during the first air operation,” Gurulyov said.

“The first to be hit will be London. It is crystal clear that the threat to the world is the Anglo-Saxons.”

He also said Russia will target extremely important sites that would cut power supplies to Europe. The US will have to ask Western Europe to continue fighting in the cold without food and electricity, he warned.
