What's this?

Putin's ally begs to differ

"Kremlin propagandist Vladimir Solovyov has warned that Russia is poised to "destroy" Poland as tensions between Moscow and its European neighbors continue to rise amid the ongoing war in Ukraine.

Solovyov, a close ally to Russian President Vladimir Putin and the host of a popular state television program, suggested during a recent broadcast that European nations would not "understand" Russia's dominance of the continent until the decision is made to "smash Europe's face," according to a translated clip shared on Friday by Ukrainian internal affairs adviser Anton Gerashchenko to X, formerly Twitter.

After vowing the Russia would never "leave" or "negotiate" with Europe, Solovyov turned his attention to Poland, a strategically located NATO member state that has recently bolstered its defenses to prepare for the possibility that Russia's war in Ukraine could expand. Solovyov asserted that while Russia feels "sorry for" its "brothers" in Ukraine, Moscow would show no hesitation in wiping out Polish cities "in an instant.""
