Russian propaganda host Vladimir Solovyov took a harsh stance against any efforts to reach an agreement in the context of the war during his Sunday evening show. He stressed that attacks on Ukrainian cities should not stop for even a moment.

Solovyov specifically said that strikes on Odesa must continue without pause, that Mykolaiv should "burn," and that Kharkiv and Sumy should be razed to the ground. His remarks came at a time when the international community is discussing possible negotiated solutions to end the war.

Reflection of Kremlin policy

The source notes that these statements reflect the essence of Kremlin policy as a whole - showing that official Russian propaganda does not support compromise or a ceasefire, but instead continues to call for military escalation against Ukrainian cities and civilians.

The material was published in the "Behind the Curtain" segment, which has recently repeatedly focused on Latvia as one of propaganda's target points - according to the headline, this is the second consecutive week it has been among the propagandists' main topics.

Solovyov's programs on Russian state television are considered one of the most influential channels of Kremlin propaganda, regularly voicing radical positions on continuing the war.
