Therefore, the mass media will be engaged. Moreover, a new Macron should already appear.'

Dmytro Razumkov consistently speaks publicly in Russian: 'As long as we have Russian aggression, as long as we have the desire of the Russian state to protect the Russian-speaking population, I use exclusively Russian during broadcasts.
