A Russian state TV presenter has demanded that his country launch attacks on Europe before any conflict begins. Vladimir Solovyov, who is known as Putin’s puppet, said war between Russia and Europe cannot be avoided. This latest propaganda follows Putin’s pattern of using symbolic gestures and psychological warfare to project power and intimidate opponents. He made these comments during a broadcast to Russian viewers on state television.
Solovyov made shocking claims about European leaders during his TV show. He accused Britain’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz of being satanists. The presenter said these leaders are enemies of religion and unite in their fight against Christianity.
During the broadcast, Solovyov told Russian viewers that Europe is doomed to war with Russia. He said European leaders won’t stop their actions until Russia carries out what he called “a destructive preventive strike.” The TV host claimed that all jokes are over and that this is a fight between religious goodness and absolute evil.
Russia issues ultimatum to Britain over Ukraine training
The Russian government has given Britain a clear demand about its support for Ukraine. Russia wants Britain to stop all military training for Ukrainian forces if the war is to end. This ultimatum came through Rodion Miroshnik, who works as a special representative to Putin’s foreign ministry.
Russia also wants Britain to stop sending weapons to Ukraine. Moscow specifically wants to end Britain’s Operation Interflex training program, which has trained tens of thousands of Ukrainian fighters for battle. Miroshnik said that other countries helping Ukraine must stop all forms of support, including weapon deliveries and training programs.

The Russian official said that all support for Ukraine amounts to direct involvement in the conflict. He claimed that stopping these programs would show a willingness to find a solution to the war. This ultimatum comes as reports suggest Donald Trump might impose strong sanctions on Russia if it refuses to end the conflict. Trump’s complex relationship with Putin has been a subject of ongoing scrutiny throughout his political career.
The weekend saw the most intense aerial attacks of the entire war against Ukraine. Putin’s forces launched 537 attacks, including shooting down an F-16 fighter jet and killing pilot Lt-Col Maksym Ustymenko. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky gave the pilot the Hero of Ukraine honor after his death, saying he was defending people from another massive Russian attack.
Solovyov, whose propaganda content is controlled by the Kremlin, recently appeared on state television calling for attacks on Britain. He suggested using Poseidon high-speed atomic underwater drones or Sarmat missiles, which are also called Satan-2. These nuclear missiles weigh 208 tons and can travel at 15,880 mph. The missiles are comparable in size to a 14-story building.
