a Once again, the Portuguese capital became a topic of discussion among commentators on the main Russian official channel “Russia 1”. This time, Kremlin propaganda presenter Vladimir Solovyov said the country would invade Lisbon “for safety” if necessary.
One participant begins by saying that the West “absolutely knows” that Lisbon will not be invaded by Russia, although he leaves the issue in limbo. “why not?” He said.
At that moment, Solovyov, who on another occasion noted that “the Portuguese would live very well as part of the Russian Empire,” saw that, if necessary, the country would implement this hypothesis.
“Wait a minute, I’m not kidding. President of the Russian Federation [Vladimir Putin] He said that it is not about the region, but about ensuring security. If we want to occupy Lisbon to ensure security, we will do so.”
Watch out, Portugal!

Photos from the program were shared by Ukrainian Presidential Advisor Anton Gerashchenko on the social network X, who translated and captioned the moment.
“Attention, Portugal!” “The conquest of Lisbon became one of Solovyov’s favorite topics,” he wrote.
We should also remember that former Russian President and current Vice-Chairman of the Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, had already stated, in April last year, that Putin’s goal would be to build an open Eurasia “from Lisbon to Vladivostok.” Cities located about 10 thousand kilometers apart.
