The ubiquitous Andrey Raichev, who knows everything, began his overexcited tirade in “The Day Begins with Georgi Lyubenov“ with the slogan: Russia is a great power and cannot be defeated! And he continued with the same aplomb: Europe deceived Ukraine and made it fight. And the Ukrainians fought well for three years. Very well, even. And they gave half a million victims. Where is the victory? Where is the victory by force? This is absurd.

Europe has no capacity to prevail over Russia. And over America and Russia - absolutely. This is ridiculous.

Russia was going to take over Poland after Ukraine. What is Poland for? They hate each other to death. What does Putin want the Baltic countries for? What about Romania and Bulgaria? This is absurd. Nonsense.

Russian propaganda is a fabrication of Western propaganda.

Europe has been brought to the brink of the abyss.

There are hardly any people in Bulgaria who love Europe more than I do. I love Europe very much! – Raichev explained lovingly. Macron would cover us with a “nuclear umbrella“. This is ridiculous, this is a pity.

The other guest in the studio, journalist Konstantin Valkov, without making a big fuss, expressed his opinion: Russia is not a civilizational choice. It is not an example for anyone. Russia is not an option for anything. Putin is waging a bloody war against Ukraine because he has nothing else to offer the Russian people. He does not know what to do, what to develop. He can wage war – that's it.

Europe must stop Putin, limit Russia's influence.

Why doesn't China, which also possesses nuclear weapons, wage a war for territories, for example? Because Beijing has other, lofty goals. It develops the economy, education, science. It has a program for 10, 30 and more years ahead.

Europe is a civilization, and what is Russia? Where does the path of Russia and Putin lead?

Valkov tried several times to provoke Raichev to answer, but unsuccessfully.
