One of Vladimir Putin’s most vocal mouthpieces, Vladimir Solovyov, has issued Europe a chilling threat to continue – and even expand – its war in Ukraine in the wake of Donald Trump’s 28-point peace plan to end the fighting. Speaking on his Russian state TV show, Sunday Evening With Vladimir Solovyov, the host was joined by a member of Russia’s Federation Council, Alexei Kondratiev, among others.
His chilling remarks came as a Ukrainian delegation reached an agreement with Washington on the terms of a potential peace deal to end the conflict that has raged since 2022. A US official is understood to have held discreet talks with a Russian delegation in the United Arab Emirates to push the peace process forward. “The Ukrainians have agreed to the peace deal,” an unnamed official told ABC News.
Speaking on his show, Solovyov said: “Of course, it was amusing to watch the hysteria that started up, it’s truly amusing. Everyone started saying, ‘What about us?’ They call the current plan an ultimatum of the Russians. Even their US contacts say, ‘No, this is a Russian plan’. After that, Rubio came out and said, ‘Tsk-tsk-tsk [while waving a finger], there is no need to incorrectly quote me. This is our plan, this isn’t the plan of the Russians’. I also liked the plan they’ve lodged in response. It says, ‘Look, Russians, you give up the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, you give up the Kakhovka Dam and the Kinburn Spit’.

“I want to tell them, ‘We can’t hear you very well’,” Solovyov added. “When we enter Paris, repeat it to this ear [pointing to his right ear]. When we enter Berlin, say it into this ear [pointing to his left ear], so we can hear your squealing better.
Solovyov then attempted to speak in broken Ukrainian: “Have you lost your minds? I’m addressing you in your native tongue. What are you all about? Everything is being explained to you very clearly.
“It’s clear and concise. As our president noted after negotiations in Anchorage [where Putin met with Mr Trump], the Ukrainian side put a stop to the entire process of negotiations. Europeans were the ones who contributed to this. The current peace plan presented by Washington should be discussed, Moscow is ready for this.”
He then issued a threat to not just Ukraine, but to all of Europe.

“All supporters of the party of war should clearly understand that Russia is prepared to continue demonstrating and proving its superiority on the battlefield, not only over the Ukrainian Nazis, but over all of the European Nazi dirtbags that are present on the front line, in one way or another, either as their intelligence units, their mercenaries, their equipment or means of communication.
“All of you will stay and rot there.”
He proceeded to say that Washington understood this “reality” and is pushing Volodymyr Zelensky to accept the 28 points, highlighting that Mr Trump reminded Ukraine’s president that “he has no trump cards” to play.
Russia’s Federation Council member, Alexei Kondratiev, then proceeded to describe Russia as a “totally special world,” a nation that “is neither the West nor the East, it is a Russian civilisation”. He then said that Malorossiya – meaning “Little Russia or “Lesser Russia”, a historical term used to describe Ukraine – was “a part of the Russian world” and has spent the last 34 years “trying to eradicate a sense of belonging to a Russia land […] in an attempt to give up to the West”.
