“Russia 1”, this television channel financed entirely by the Kremlin, must keep the discourse conveyed by the Russian authorities and call what is happening in Ukraine a “special military operation”.
Panelists on the talk show often make inflammatory statements about Ukraine, but also about Westerners, according to Express.
Recently, a propagandist compared Olaf Scholz, the German Chancellor, to Adolf Hitler, responsible for the deaths of millions of people during World War II.
Scholz visited Ukrainian soldiers who are training in German terrain this week. During his visit, Scholz rode a tank to talk to soldiers, among others.
The propagandist then showed an old photo of Adolf Hitler, where we see him on a tank, to support his remarks.
“Why did Olaf Scholz get on the tank? He rode to look like his idol!” he said, referring to dictator Adolf Hitler.
By the same token, Solovyov called for military strikes to be launched on the German military base visited by Olaf Scholz, where several Ukrainian soldiers are trained.
The German Chancellor did not comment on this inflammatory statement aimed at him.
According The world, the ratings of the main channels controlled by Moscow have fallen by 25% since the start of the Russian invasion last February.
