Vladimir Solovyov, a close ally of Vladimir Putin, has issued a chilling warning about the future of European borders.

Speaking on Russian state TV, he suggested that the current configuration of Europe's borders won't last much longer due to Russia's growing power.He said: "I think we have entered an era of colossal geopolitical changes... All sorts of accidental formations incapable of their own statehood may not survive this era. By that, I mean the Baltic states and all of Europe. I don't think that the European borders in their current configuration will continue to exist much longer. I don't see any reason why they would.

"A nation whose ideology presents a threat to us cannot exist next to us." Solovyov, known for his political threats and verbal attacks on the west, has previously claimed that Portugal will be added to Russia's empire and that Hawaii and California could easily be taken from the US, the Daily Star.

He also seems open to the idea of nuclear war, stating in a TV debate: "Nuclear war is the means for something... It's strange to fight over the means; a nuclear war fulfills a certain goal. Not every nuclear war leads to destruction. We already had a nuclear war. Two nuclear bombs were dropped on the territory of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan," according to Newsweek.

Tensions between Russia and Ukraine are escalating, with Russia expressing anger towards NATO for their support of Ukraine. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov even suggested that they are prepared to attack NATO, accusing the organisation of being on a "dangerous path" due to their interference in Russia's plans.
