Is Vladimir Putin’s Most Loyal Propagandist (70) Turning His Back On Him? Vladimir Solovyov (59) has made a lot of noise in the past for the war in Ukraine. But suddenly he strikes a new note. The moderator is angry and accuses the highest ranks of lying mercilessly – which has fatal consequences for Russia.
Putin’s top propagandist spoke about the war situation on a Russian TV show. The southern area in Kherson is fiercely contested. Senior General Sergei Surovikin (56) has already hinted at the withdrawal of his troops. Russia is in a “holy war” against the “satanic” West.
Until then, his speech sounds like the usual Kremlin talk, but then he suddenly swings around. He gets angry – and how. “Too many bastards have lied!” he yells angrily into the microphone. “They lied to us from start to finish! About what’s in our depots. About the condition of our equipment. About how many soldiers are at the front.”
“There will be bitter and difficult battles”
It remains unclear who exactly he is accusing of lying. However, what is meant is probably the commander in chief and also politicians. They lied about the supplies and tried to cover up how many soldiers had died in the war.
These lies would have catastrophic consequences for Russia. “Now the whole country must stand up for the war,” Solovyov bellowed. Because in reality you are not fighting with Ukraine, but with the ‘evil’ West. “There will be bitter and difficult battles,” the moderator is convinced.
However, Russia has no choice but to continue. “Otherwise we will cease to exist. There will be no more Russian culture, no more Russian language and no more Russians.”
Nuclear weapons last trump in hands
Despite the unusual accusations, Solovyov’s speech is intended to restore the Russian people’s confidence in the government.
What initially sounds like criticism of the summit is ultimately just an explanation of why the young men must now go to war for their homeland. Because you are dealing with a strong enemy.
“We are fighting against the NATO bloc, whose military and industrial power is very different from what we thought,” Solovyov explains the situation. “But at least we’re doing exercises with our strategic nuclear weapons.” Nuclear weapons are Russia’s last asset. “I hope we really have it.” (jwg)
