Russian TV host Vladimir Solovyov is one of the most important propagandists of Russian President Vladimir Putin. His programs reach an audience of millions.
Anton Herashchenko now shares a video on platform X, in which Solovyov threatens Germany: “I still demand to burn Berlin. Therefore, I advise the Germans to leave Berlin. Everyone who feels responsible: Leave Berlin. It is not a matter of ‘I want or I do not want’. It is a fundamental understanding. I was with the guys (military, editor’s note). I will show you footage today. I spoke with one – which will not be seen in the recordings, maybe later – and I asked: ‘What do you think of all this?’ He said: ‘You know, when the German tanks were sent, I was glad. I’m waiting for them. My grandfather burned them and I will burn them. My grandfather reached Berlin and I will not rest until I have destroyed them.”
Solovyov continues to defend Russia’s internationally unlawful war of aggression and argues that Russia is not to blame for the escalation. He calls on Germany to “come to its senses again”.
