A Russian state TV host suggested this week that people in the UK are being forced to eat squirrels because their country is spending so much money on military aid to Ukraine.
"Today it was revealed that some restaurants in once-Great Britain will be serving squirrels," Olga Skabayeva said on Russian news show"60 Minutes," per a translation by Ukrainian interior ministry adviser Anton Gerashchenko. "In view of the fact that there are plenty of animals in the parks, so why not eat them, bearing in mind the food shortage [in the UK]," Skabayeva said in the video.
She added:"They [the UK] are not backing down from the decision to help [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelenskyy, to supply weapons. That is, they will eat squirrels, but still supply howitzers."
Squirrels are good food. Old days, everyone in certain areas had a .22 for squirrel hunting. Grandpa took me squirrel hunting when I was a kid. You kill it -- you skin it.
Squirrels would be a step up
