Vladimir Putin’s top state TV propagandist has once again issued a chilling warning to the UK, this time suggesting Britain could be “swept underwater” by Russia’s new high-speed nuclear torpedo, the Poseidon.
Vladimir Solovyov, often described as Putin’s main media mouthpiece, made the threat just days after Putin publicly claimed Russia has “no desire to attack anyone.” Despite the Kremlin leader’s words, Solovyov urged that the Poseidon a nuclear-powered underwater drone capable of carrying warheads up to 100 megatons should be “tested on Britain.”
Russian reports claim Poseidon can travel underwater at speeds up to 115 mph and at depths of more than 3,000 feet, making it an unprecedented weapon if ever deployed. Its detonation could trigger a massive radioactive tidal wave, causing catastrophic destruction along coastlines.
In his televised rant, Solovyov also suggested using a Chinese equivalent against Japan and threatened NATO members Latvia and Estonia, alleging without evidence that they had allowed Ukraine to launch drone attacks from their territory. He declared such nations should be “wiped off the map.”
His remarks came as Putin continued his war in Ukraine while denying any plans for wider aggression. The Kremlin has repeatedly dismissed Western concerns, even as Russian strikes hit Odesa and Zaporizhzhia in recent days, with Ukraine reporting nearly 500 attacks in one 24-hour period.
Meanwhile, international diplomatic efforts are intensifying. Donald Trump has claimed he could still broker a peace deal between Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, while European leaders including UK Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, and others are discussing long-term security guarantees for Ukraine. Macron stated Europe is ready to commit to “robust peace,” but stressed that the key question remains whether Russia is sincere.
Despite these talks, Moscow maintains that any foreign troops in Ukraine are “unacceptable.” For now, Putin continues to rely on propaganda threats and ongoing strikes, keeping tensions with the West at dangerous levels.
