In this way, Gurulyov raised the possibility of invading the Baltic in his strategy and thus seek to revert the Lithuanian capital, Vilnius, to its previous name as Vilno, and the Estonian capital, Tallinn, to its tsarist identity as Reval, according to what the media reconstructed. Spanish ABC.
Both Estonia and Lithuania are NATO countries, meaning: any invasion by Russia would trigger Article 5, which could cause a Third World War. In this hypothetical scenario, Gurulyov assured that the West “would not have a stomach”.

“No one will care if they are American or British, we would see them all as NATO,” he said, anticipating that Russia “would mitigate the entire anti-missile defense system.”
“The first to be attacked will be London. Without a doubt, the threat to the world comes from the Anglo-Saxons, ”he warned, specifying that Russia would attack critically important sites that would cut off electricity supplies to Europe.
“We will see what the United States will say to Europe if they have to fight in the cold, without electricity and without food,” the Putin ally challenged on the Russian television program.
