London will be first bombed in World War Three says Russian TV propagandist as he rails against West

The Kremlin’s propaganda machine has warned that London would be the first city bombed if a world war broke out, in Russia’s latest sabre-rattling against the West.

Andrey Gurulyov, a State Duma politician who is a close ally of Vladimir Putin, made the threat to Britain on the state-run Rossiya 1 channel.

The doomsday warnings come amid renewed fears of the Ukraine war escalating into a global conflict due to NATO member Lithuania blocking sanctioned goods to the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad. 

Gurulyov said the only way to prevent the blockade in a Russian invasion of NATO countries, which would trigger clause five and likely spark World War Three.

He said: ‘We’ll destroy the entire group of enemy’s space satellites during the first air operation.
