 Putin ally to give Houthis weapons to attack U.S. ships. A well-known Kremlin propagandist said during a recent television broadcast that Moscow should arm Yemeni Houthi rebels with Russian weapons for use in attacks on U.S. and British ships, according to Newsweek. Vladimir Solovyov, a prominent figure in Kremlin-backed media and a staunch ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, made the suggestion during a recent episode of his show that airs on Russia one. His comments came as clashes continue in the Red Sea between Iran-aligned Houthi rebels and Western defensive forces. According to Solovyov, Moscow should provide Houthis with arms as retribution against Western countries who continue to aid Ukraine in its war against invading Russian forces. Anton Gerashchenko, an advisor to Ukraine's Minister of Internal Affairs, shared a clip on X of Solovyov's remarks regarding Houthis. The clip begins with Solovyov discussing media reports about a NATO ally planning to give Kiev long-range missiles that are capable of reaching Crimea. It takes two to tangle. Solovyov said before bringing up the Houthi strike on the Rubimar. Well, British, you want a giggle now? Do you want to continue, let's say, helping Ukrainians? Solovyov then brought up recent claims made by Russian officials that a British drone had been downed by Russian air defense systems in the occupied Luhansk region of Ukraine. He then returned to the topic of Houthis and advocated arming the rebel group for attacks on US and British targets, saying the times are such. The Houthis will have everything. They will have semi-submersible unmanned boats. They'll have powerful guns. They'll have everything. Solovyov said, according to Gerashchenko's translation, he added, you want to play these games and then think that Russia should limit its arms' supplies.
