Russian state TV presenter Vladimir Solovyov has attacked "screwed up pacifists in Russia" who oppose the country deploying nuclear weapons. He made the comments on his radio show following the assassination of pro-war Russian blogger Vladlen Tatarsky. Solovyov speculated that if the Kremlin's enemies try to assassinate President Putin, it would amount to a "casus belli, and a nuclear strike would immediately follow." He also predicted that Russia will "fully move onto the war footing" if Ukraine achieves "strategic success" with a counter-attack.
