Russia has threatened to launch a supersonic missile attack on the United States and Britain, including Finland, over Finland’s accession to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), saying it could use nuclear weapons if its security was threatened.
According to British media reports, Alexei Zvoravlev, vice chairman of the Russian Defense Committee, said that Finland had been persuaded by the United States and Britain to join NATO.
He also said that Finland could be hit by a Satan-2 missile in 10 seconds.
The deputy chairman of the Russian Defense Committee said that if the United States threatened Russia, the same Russian missiles would be for the United States.
He warned that if the United States pursued Russian security, nuclear ash would emerge from the United States.
Alexei Zvoravliyev threatened Britain, saying that the seat could reach Britain in 200 seconds.
Russia, meanwhile, has suspended power supplies to Finland.
The Russian energy firm had threatened to cut off supplies due to non-payment of arrears.
