A politician on Russia's state TV calls for the airstrikes on Ukraine to continue.

The civilian population must feel the effects of the war.

MOSCOW - Russia continues its attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure.

People have to deal with the effects of blackouts, some have neither gas nor water.

But the actions of the armed forces did not cause criticism on Russian state television - on the contrary.

A guest of a talk show sees in the attacks the "holy hatred" of Russia, which Ukrainians should feel.

In an excerpt from a program that the journalist and Russia expert Julia Davis uploaded to Twitter, guests talk about the air raids by the Russian army.

Boris Chernyshov, State Duma deputy and member of the far-right LDPR party, says he believes that people in Ukraine can freeze to death.

To date, more than 850,000 people have viewed the clip on the short message service.

Russia's state TV: "holy hatred" against Ukraine

"These retaliatory strikes - and it is retaliation - are an expression of our hatred, our holy hatred," Chernyshov explains on the TV show.

Ukrainians, the politician added, would now “sit without gas, without light and without anything else”.

But Kremlin boss Vladimir Putin and his troops are not to blame.

Rather, Ukraine itself is responsible for the situation.

"If the Kiev regime chooses the path of war criminals, they will have to freeze and rot over there."

One person in the group asks whether it really has to be that "normal people" freeze to death in the Ukraine conflict.

Chernyshov then launches an angry tirade.

"Ordinary people must take to the streets and put an end to Zelenskyy's Nazi regime," the Russian parliamentarian said.

Russian propaganda keeps saying that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his government members are Nazis and right-wing extremists.

Recently, the deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council and a close confidant of Putin, Dmitry Medvedev, ranted on Telegram: "It's a bunch of insane Nazi drug addicts, a nation drugged and intimidated by them, and a big pack of barking dogs from the western kennel .”

Ukraine war: Attacks on infrastructure are said to continue

TV presenter Roman Babayan interjects in the current clip that there are no protests in the Ukrainian cities.

"Where are the revolts?

We don't see any revolts," said the television man.

Support for Zelenskyy, whom he describes as "that guy in the T-shirt", is high among the Ukrainian population, "if you trust the Kiev polls," says Babayan.

He comes to the conclusion that the attacks on the infrastructure in the Ukraine war should continue.

“It contributes to our victory.

For us, victory is absolutely necessary.

If negotiations with the Ukrainian side suddenly start, they will not end well for us,” summarizes Babayan.

The Ukrainian government wants nothing less than the “annihilation of our nation”.

"We can only overcome this situation through strength," says the propagandist.

The WHO has also registered hundreds of attacks on Ukrainian health facilities since the fighting began in February.

This is a "clear violation" of international law.

"Ongoing attacks on health and energy infrastructure mean that hundreds of hospitals and health facilities are no longer fully operational," explained Kluge, adding: "We expect that two to three million more people will leave their homes in search of warmth and security." be abandoned." (tvd)
