Russian state TV urges Putin to arm Argentina and 'defeat Brits in Falklands'

Russian state TV host Vladimir Solovyov has called on Russian President Vladimir Putin to arm Argentina to 'decisively defeat Britain' and take control of the Falkland Islands, referring to them as the Malvinas. Solovyov emphasized that Argentina 'must be helped' to reclaim the islands, despite the fact that 93% of the Falkland Island population identifies as British. He also addressed Scotland, urging 'Scottish brothers' to fight for independence with Moscow's support. This rhetoric comes amid tensions between Russia and the UK, including accusations from the Russian embassy that British drone support for Ukraine has caused significant economic damage to Russia. The UK maintains its historical claim to the Falklands dating back to 1765, while Argentina disputes this, arguing the territory was illegally seized in 1833.
