Yevgeny Popov is not the first to speculate about Russia's nuclear capabilities.
A prominent Russian commentator recently claimed on the national TV channel Rossiya-1 that the Kremlin has nuclear missiles "lined up" to target seven Western capital cities.
This claim comes in response to America's announcement of its plans to deploy intermediate-range guided missiles in Germany, Knewz.com reported.
Yevgeny Popov referenced remarks by Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov, who stated, "We have enough potential to contain these missiles. But the potential victims are the capitals of these states."
Popov elaborated, "It's not hard to guess the geography of the response if the White House's short press release becomes reality."
As he spoke, a map of Europe displaying potential targets filled the screen, showing that "almost all European capitals are under threat."
The targeted European capitals included Paris, Berlin, Prague, Warsaw, Bucharest, Tallinn, and Riga. The broadcast also highlighted American military bases in Germany, specifically Spangdahlem, Ramstein, Patch Barracks, and Garmisch-Partenkirchen, as potential targets.
Popov also focused on the United Kingdom, labeling it as "our traditional enemy." The broadcast marked London, Manchester, and Birmingham, as well as several military bases in Britain, as potential targets.
He concluded ominously, "Britain is in the most vulnerable position. In principle, three missiles are enough, and this civilization will collapse."
This isn't the first time a Kremlin-aligned figure has criticized the U.S. for its missile deployment in Europe. Peskov previously accused the U.S. of endangering Russia by placing missiles aimed at the country.
He dismissed the idea of a post-Cold War-like collapse for Russia, asserting, "Europe is now bursting at the seams. This is not the best time for Europe. Therefore, the repetition of history [like the collapse of the Soviet Union] in different configurations is inevitable."

Russian Ambassador to the U.S., Anatoly Antonov, also condemned the American plans, saying, "Washington is making a serious mistake. Such highly destabilizing steps directly threaten international security and strategic stability."
He warned that America's actions could spark a missile arms race and lead to uncontrollable escalation amid rising tensions between Russia and NATO.
The context of these threats stems from the collapse of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, a Cold War-era agreement that the U.S. accused Russia of violating. In 2019, the U.S. withdrew from the treaty, and Russia followed suit.
