The editor of Russia's RT outlet said Russia "practically" took Ukraine's capital in its invasion. In reality Russia never took Kyiv, and instead retreated and never returned. Simonyan did acknowledge that Russia's army left Kyiv earlier in the war, but not that the army was effectively forced to retreat. She said the main reason that Russia would "never bomb Kyiv" is because "our holy sites" are in the city. Simonyan hinted that Russia could bomb Washington, London, or Berlin, as Russia has no holy sites in those cities.
A Russia expert described what he said were telltale signs the rally was staged by the Kremlin. Russian media dubbed the rally "the March on Washington," highlighting the display of pro-war sentiment in Russia. Unlike at the recent rally, the Russian police previously arrested over a thousand people protesting Putin's mobilization of reservists. Previous demonstrations in Moscow in October also featured protesters clamoring for Sarmat strikes on the US. They paraded a black rocket on the streets, which appears to have been reused in the most recent staged rally.
Russia Today host Anton Krasovsky was suspended after calling for Ukrainian children to be killed. Krasovsky aimed his comments at Ukrainian children who saw the Soviet Union as occupiers in the 1980s. Krasovsky replied: "Just drown those children, drown them," before going on to describe Ukrainians as having "piece of shit little houses." "There are masses of awful, monstrous little houses, they shit all over the Carpathian Mountains," he went on. "God, those grannies would spend their burial savings to get raped by Russian soldiers," he added.
A Russian state TV pundit argued for talks in Ukraine, deviating from the Kremlin's pro-war rhetoric. Boris Nadezhdin has been critical of the war in Ukraine before, promoting negotiations instead. Ukraine has documented and alleged dozens of war crimes that it said Russian soldiers carried out in once-occupied Kharkiv. Sidorchik responded by asking if Russian soldiers who fought Nazi Germany in World War II had opened Pandora's box as well. He urged media outlets not to broadcast graphic footage of war crimes, saying it "won't lead to peace."
