During the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine Moscow-backed commentators and analysts have threatened the West for backing Kyiv. Russian Lawmaker Andrey Gurulyov Threatens Missile Strikes On Alaska: "It Doesn't Take Much"
A Russian lawmaker recently threatened to attack Alaska with a string of missiles, according to a report in Newsweek. Duma Deputy Andrey Gurulyov said there were missiles stationed near the US, which are "quite capable of scouring Alaska to the ground," and that Russia should move with them instead of waiting for aggression from its enemies to attack. Mr Gurulyov made the remarks during an appearance on Russian state-run television, where he was part of a segment with other commentators, the outlet further said.
"Texas doesn't need to be attacked. We have a strategic nuclear force that holds America's territory. Let me remind you, there's Alaska across the strait," the Russian leader said, as per Newsweek.
Mr Gurulyov also listed a number of Russian missiles that are ready. "It doesn't take much, a couple of brigades will suffice," he added.
Sen. Lindsay Graham denied saying the comment as reported Russian lawmaker suggests pre-emptive missile strike on Alaska
