Putin's media soldier claims Europe's future is nuclear wasteland

Russian propagandist Sergey Mardan, known more widely as "Putin's media soldier," surprised the public with his words. He stated that in 50 years, European cities will stop being targets for Russian nuclear missiles because there will be nothing left. He and his ilk are furious after the Ukrainian attack on the Kursk region.

Many pieces of information conveyed by Russian media and authorities are likely untrue. Such reports may be elements of the Russian Federation's information war.

Russian propaganda plays a crucial role in shaping public opinion and manipulating events on the international stage. Thanks to an extensive media network and strategic operations, the Kremlin effectively spreads misinformation and controls narratives worldwide.

One of the people who firmly spread propaganda is Sergey Mardan. His task is to create a narrative to convince Russian society of the correctness of the Kremlin’s actions.

In his programs, he often repeats claims that Russia is a victim of the West and Ukraine, which helps strengthen pro-Russian attitudes in the country.

According to his recent statements, despite the Russians' problems during the war in Ukraine, in several decades, his country will survive, while other Western countries will face significant issues.

In 50 years, European cities will stop being targets for Russian nuclear missiles because there will be nothing left. Germany or France, for example, could likely transform into something similar to what Riga is today. It’s a desert with no chance of rebirth, Mardan said, as quoted by Anton Herashchenko.

Mardan is often accused of "playing on emotions" and manipulating facts. In response to a recording from Machulishchy airport, where a drone flew over Russian planes, Mardan stated that "he couldn't watch this recording."

One thing is certain. As "Putin's media soldier" Mardan plays a critical role in disinformation and creating a pro-Russian narrative.
