Propagandist Solovyov Warned Of Upcoming Attacks On Russia's Energy Sector

He also called for the relocation of residents of the Bryansk and Kursk regions to other regions.

Russian propagandist Vladimir Solovyov appeared on the show “Sunday Evening” on “Rossiya 1” and called on to prepare for Ukrainian strikes on energy infrastructure, as well as to relocate residents of the border areas of the Kursk and Bryansk regions deeper into the country, including to the Far East, as noted by "Agency".

Solovyov voiced this proposal in his monologue at the beginning of the program. Discussing how, in his opinion, the war in Ukraine has changed, he stated that Ukraine will not stop at strikes against the oil and gas sector and transportation infrastructure. “It’s clear that as winter approaches, there will be an attack on the energy infrastructure,” he added.

According to the propagandist, “preventive measures” must be taken, one of the most effective of which is “pushing the enemy as far back as possible.”

Solovyov then stated that an “extremely dire situation” has now arisen in the city of Energodar in the annexed part of Zaporizhzhia Oblast “and along the entire line of contact”: “Since the ‘kill zone’ has expanded to 40 kilometers, it is impossible for civilians to remain there.” According to him, this concerns 200,000–400,000 people living in the Kursk and Bryansk regions of Russia, as well as in the occupied parts of the Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson regions.

“They are, de facto, living on the front lines. <�…> What’s stopping us from evacuating these people, giving them the opportunity to relocate and live a normal life in a new place? ‘Far Eastern Hectare,’ the Urals, the Volga Region. Distribute them across the country? But we don’t abandon our own people. Once the front line recedes, we’ll rebuild, and people will return to their homes,” Solovyov suggested.

According to him, instead, “we’re turning our backs on the workforce” and “watching as people live in the most dire conditions.”

To address this, the propagandist said, there should be a government resettlement program: “Especially since we have so many new buildings right now that, unfortunately, for various reasons, cannot be… What’s stopping the government from buying up housing there and providing it, so that people can work?”

The next phase of Russia’s war with Ukraine will resemble the so-called “war of the cities” in the Iran-Iraq War of the 1980s, a military source in Moscow told The New Yorker. This term refers to a series of indiscriminate airstrikes carried out by both sides of the 1980–1988 Iran-Iraq War after the conflict reached a stalemate on the front lines. For Ukraine, four years after the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion, this does not seem like a new prospect, the magazine acknowledges. “They’re used to it. But we’re facing this for the first time,” the source said.
