Solovyov warned on a program he hosts on Russia-1, a Russian state-owned television channel, "If [the U.S.] tries to give us any kind of an ultimatum, the Stalin Strait will appear [in the middle of America]," according to an English-translated clip of the show posted on the Russian Media Monitor's YouTube channel on Saturday.

"I will say it once again, we should destroy every dam, every hydro system," Solovyov said on his show.
