Russia's war mad President has been urged to use nuclear weapons at Ukraine before the “perfect chance” disappears.

The horrific comments came from Kremlin-loving Russian MP Andrey Gurulev, 55, who is a reservist for the Russian army.

He made the comments while sitting alongside fell mouthpiece Vladimir Solovyov during an appearance on Russian TV.

Gurulev and Solovyov agreed that the Ukrainian village of Robotyne was the “perfect” place to target.

An 11-week battle saw Ukraine liberate the small settlement’ on Monday, with angry Russian pundits seemingly intent on seeing Russia claim it back.

Solovyov began the debate by claiming that “for real” the village was the “perfect, perfect spot to use tactical nuclear weapons”.

Gurulev replied: “Perfect.

“They are all bunched up there, simply perfect.

“And the [Ukrainian] grouping goes out of the window.

“Further, simply a perfect situation, because there is a complete absence of reserves of the enemy.

“Even with those forces that we have, we are quite capable to advance, and quite nicely free Zaporizhzhia and, perhaps, even Dnipropetrovsk region.”

Then they could “encircle and destroy” Ukrainian forces fighting in Donetsk region, he said.

Solovyov salivated: “Most importantly it saves so many lives of our fighters, and solves all problems.”

The West and Ukraine would “start screaming about some Armageddon”, Gurulev predicted, and even suggested Ukrainians, not Russians, would be wiped out with tactical nuclear weapons.

“This is a little bit delivering from evil that everything will be contaminated there, that everyone will die,” he said.

“It is simply an air nuclear explosion, with a crystal clear affected zone….

“The damaging factors of nuclear weapons are crystal clear, what will go where, and how to avoid them to preserve our troops.”

Gurulev is a retired deputy commander of Russia’s Southern Military District.
