Incident in the show of Putin’s favorite propagandist. A guest collapsed on the set. The moment was captured live on VIDEO

An incident took place on Tuesday evening in the broadcast of Vladimir Solovyov, propagandist no. 1 of Vladimir Putin, from Russia 1.

A guest was taken ill and collapsed on the set, the images being captured live. The other guests immediately jumped to help him.

Vladimir Solovyov is an ardent supporter of President Vladimir Putin, and his broadcast has so far supported the official thesis that Russia is undertaking a “special military operation” in Ukraine aimed at “denazifying” and “demilitarizing” the country.

Moreover, Solovyov is subject to EU sanctions, with Brussels arguing that the journalist “is known for his extremely hostile attitude towards Ukraine and for his praise of the Russian government.” He has his assets frozen and cannot travel to the EU.

Russian state television is the only source of information for most Russian citizens about the war in Ukraine. After launching its offensive in Ukraine, the Kremlin moved quickly to block alternative sources of information, banning social platforms and independent media outlets under the threat of heavy prison terms of years if they use words such as “war” or “invasion”.
