Solovyov was sent to the demotivated Russian military instead of ammunition, which they have been asking for more than a day.
The host of the “Evening with Vladimir Solovyov” program on the Russia-1 TV channel and the chief propagandist of the Russian Federation Vladimir Solovyov, together with the film crew, went near Ugledar to support the military after the publication of information about the huge losses of the Marines of the 155th brigade and to raise their morale. But at some point, the visit did not go according to plan, the VChK-OGPU Telegram channel reports.
Permission to come to the war zone was given to Solovyov and his employees personally by the Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Federation Valery Gerasimov, who was supposed to ensure the safety of the propagandist. However, when Solovyov arrived at the location of the Marines, artillery of the Armed Forces of Ukraine hit this settlement.

“There were no casualties, but Solovyov’s motivational speech turned out, according to eyewitnesses, to be somewhat blurry. The film crew nevertheless turned out to be a victim, which in a short time needs to make an edited version of inspiring shots with fearless marines who are ready to storm without any artillery support (why do they need shells?),” the publication says.
According to the resource, the day before the propagandists’ visit, the brigade commander of the marines refused to send fighters for the assault until they were given a sufficient number of shells. He made such a decision, despite intimidation from senior commanders to send him to the carpet to the Chief of the General Staff.
Solovyov himself has not yet commented on the incident. It is not reported in the federal media either.
Earlier, Focus wrote that for the first time since the beginning of the war, on the air of Solovyov’s program, propagandists recognized that Western assistance to Ukraine should not be underestimated, and doubted the victory of Ukraine. Solovyov himself has already urged the Kremlin to use nuclear weapons if it wants to win.
