Confusion reigns on Russias state TV, as panicked lawmakers and pundits try to explain to the public why their country invaded Ukraine and now faces crushing Western sanctions. And in the process of zealous propagandists striving to justify the unfathomable, theyve inadvertently revealed too much.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told state TV on Friday that President Vladimir Putin was directly involved in making command decisions with respect to Russias military activities in Ukraine. He urged: Its time to unite around our president, and encouraged those who understand the Kremlins aims to patiently explain them to anyone who doesnt.
Appearing on the state TV show The Evening With Vladimir Soloviev on Friday, lawmaker Andrei Kartapolov, who heads the Russian parliaments defense committee, then set out to justify Putins military activities in Ukraine.
Starting with the most recent news of a terrifying fire caused by the Russian militarys efforts to take control over the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, Kartapolov claimed that Russian troops were ordered to seize Ukraines nuclear plants to prevent Ukraines President Volodymyr Zelensky from building a dirty bomb with which to attack Russia.
