While the Russian army continues to defend its positions in the Donbas, a year and a half since the onset of the Ukrainian invasion, Russian media is already discussing the possibility of expanding Russian territory deep into Central Europe.
As Novinky reports, on Russian television, propagandist Nikolay Vavilov recently asserted that the envisioned revitalized Russian empire should encompass cities like Prague and Berlin.
“It will continue endlessly, and we will progressively assume a role similar to that of the Russian Empire. I wasn’t joking when I mentioned on the previous program that Berlin, Dresden, Prague, and Ljubljana – they will all become part of our domain. Why? Because history shows that when we entered Paris in 1815 and Berlin in 1945, as well as during the late 18th century – these were not mere coincidences. Russia is the largest country in Europe and wields substantial power,” exclaimed Vavilov. He was a guest on the Pervyi Kanal TV discussion show, hosted by the well-known presenter Olga Skabeyeva
Vavilov’s ramblings evidently sparked amusement even on Russian television. Despite his assurance that he was speaking completely seriously, the corners of the mouths of both Skabeyeva and some other guests present during his speech twitched. “Why have we always withdrawn? Why have we been so irresponsible towards our victories?” Skabeyeva asked him.
A recording of the broadcast was posted on the social network by Anton Gerashchenko, an adviser to the Ukrainian Interior Minister.
Undeterred, Vavilov continued his impassioned speech, proclaiming, “True victory will be achieved when we stand in Kiev.”
Russian officials have made similar threats since the war in Ukraine broke out. For example, President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly threatened the West with a nuclear attack, Reuters recalled
I’m so sorry putin/russia is so stupid.
They can’t even take Ukraine
The Romans
From their drinking vessels
Had lead poisoning

The Turks will get Berlin before the Russians.
Add this guy’s IQ to Lindsey Graham’s and Joe Biden’s what do you get?
Why did they leave Afghanistan? Should have kept it, so we wouldn't have wasted our time and resources there.
This is not praguetical for the Russians who can’t even get out of Ukraine. They better czech their ego a little bit
They better Czech themself, before they wreck themself.

The Ruzzians are starting to suffer from delusions of grandeur. They are a paper tiger empire that can’t even defeat Ukraine yet they think they can defeat and conquer all of NATO and all of Europe.
Pathetic.
Where is the Russia fan club today?
Let the cat out of the bag, did he?
Considering Russia is in a massive population collapse. Sure why not?
First, they take Manhattan.
Waiting for the Russians to take the west coast of the US. If they would even want it.
Why would anyone take Russian State tv propaganda as true?
I don’t even believe the US tv propaganda.
They will be lucky to hold Crimea. I don’t see them taking much any time soon.

The same billboards are also along the Russian Federation urging Odessa be liberated and taken back….which makes sense as Catherine the Great founded the city….just a glimpse into Russian citizens solidarity in their fight against the West.
They can’t even occupy the part of Ukraine they have already delusionally annexed into Russia. Putin’s Russia is fake and Potemkin. Only Biden can save him.
