Kremlin propagandist Vladimir Solovyov has called on the Russian military to strike European countries, including the Czech Republic and Slovakia. He said that the strikes could be both nuclear and non-nuclear and should be aimed at places where military equipment destined for Ukraine is located or where Ukrainian soldiers are undergoing military training against the Russian occupiers.
“If we realize that Rheinmetall constitutes a threat to us, let’s hit their factories in the countries where they are located. What do we care where these factories are located: in the Czech Republic, Slovakia or Bulgaria?” – Solovyov pondered in his program on Channel One.
In his speech, he also lashed out at France and Germany, saying that their missiles and tanks are attacking Russia and that they provided them to Kiev as a gift.
“You gave them as a gift. Therefore they are yours. (…) We must strike, nuclear or non-nuclear, as our military commanders see fit, at the places of production and accumulation of equipment that is intended to be sent against Russia.”
There is nothing to look forward to, the propagandist believes. He also called also for nuclear or conventional strikes on places where Ukrainians conduct exercises outside Ukraine, wherever that may be.
He also recalled Russian President Vladimir Putin’s earlier threat that Russia would react harshly if other countries intervene in the situation. Solovyov said the time for such a response has already come. “What NATO announced at the last summit is a preparation for war with Russia,” Solovyov said in demonstrative indignation.
On the program, Solovyov also indulged in speculation that Turkey might want to strip Russia of its territory in the south – including the annexed Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea.
Solovyov has repeatedly threatened Western countries. In March this year, for example, he said that Russia would target European states after the end of its “operation” in Ukraine.
