Political scientist Oleksandr Morozov shared his opinions with Espreso TV.

"In the Russian media, and especially on political talk shows, there is an endless competition of projects on how to escalate to a crazy level," he said.

According to the political scientist, before Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine it could have been called postmodernism, but the current situation reveals its true seriousness.

"Real scenarios are being developed there. Eventually, one of them will be realized," emphasized Morozov.

  • On July 5, Dmitry Peskov, the spokesman for Russian leader Vladimir Putin, promoted a new narrative in Russian propaganda, claiming that there is a significant threat of sabotage from Ukraine targeting the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.
