Propaganda host calls for city strikes as Germany issues warning
Vladimir Solovyov is one of the leading figures of Kremlin propaganda. As the host of the programme "60 Minutes" on state television Russia 1, he continually spreads false information. Now, the Russians have attacked Ukraine.
Many of the reports presented by Russian state media or Kremlin officials are likely not true. Such reports may be part of an information war by the Russian Federation.
Putin's media soldier during the war with Ukraine has said many words that perfectly fit the Russian propaganda narrative.
Kremlin propagandist Vladimir Solovyov argued, among other things, that Russia is supposedly the only country where human rights are strictly observed, which is, of course, a huge lie.
He also often emphasised the strength of the Russian military. He assured that Vladimir Putin's army is capable of dealing with Germany, the United Kingdom, or even the United States without any problem. Now, in his speech, he attacked Ukraine, specifically its cities, which he believes should be wiped off the map.
I would wipe Odesa, Mykolaiv, Kharkiv and Kyiv off the map. I would give the citizens three days to leave those cities. Three days. After that, I would strike, because Crimea is being struck from Odesa and Mykolaiv, Belgorod is being struck from Kharkiv. And Kyiv is the center where all decisions are made - said Vladimir Solovyov.
Of course, this is not the first time Vladimir Solovyov has sown Russian propaganda and threatened attacks. In February, he spoke on state television about "restoring Russian cities." His list included Warsaw and towns belonging to Ukraine and Estonia.
Germany warns about Russia
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz spoke before the upcoming NATO and European Union summits. During his speech in the Bundestag, the politician commented on Western support for Ukraine in the face of ongoing Russian aggression. He emphasised that Moscow is still focused on warfare and armament.
Russia does not want peace. This cannot be ignored - said the German chancellor. He noted that Russian plans and expectations are best demonstrated by the offer of a supposed ceasefire issued by the Russian leader.
