Summary:

  • Vladimir Solovyov questions the cost of Lisbon during a state TV segment.

  • Discussion linked to Ukrainian territories Russia might retain post-war.

  • Solovyov compares Lisbon's value to Trump's Greenland proposal.

  • Previous comments from Solovyov indicate a desire to "buy" or "liberate" Portugal.

  • The segment gained traction after being shared by Anton Gerashchenko.

Russian Interest in Lisbon's Value

During a recent broadcast on Russian state television, Vladimir Solovyov, a prominent Kremlin propagandist, posed a provocative question: "How much would Lisbon cost?" This inquiry was made while discussing which Ukrainian territories Russia should retain post-war, including regions like Crimea and Odessa.

In the segment, Solovyov expressed his curiosity about the price of Portugal's capital, prompting a response from former Russian military official Evgeny Buzhinsky, who admitted he was unsure of the value of Lisbon.

Comparisons to Greenland

Solovyov also drew a parallel to former U.S. President Donald Trump's proposal to purchase Greenland, reiterating his question about Lisbon's price, stating, “They are already evaluating the price of Greenland. How much will Lisbon cost?” This remark highlights an ongoing theme in Solovyov's commentary, as he has previously suggested a desire to either “buy” or “liberate” Portugal.

The segment has caught attention on social media, particularly after being shared by Anton Gerashchenko, a former advisor in the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs, on his account on X (formerly Twitter).
