Russian TV host and Kremlin supporter Vladimir Solovyov held back tears as he reflected on Russian soldiers on the frontline, claiming they would march on Washington to win the war in Ukraine.

The moment was shared by Daily Wire journalist Julia Davis to her Twitter page on Monday and has begun to circulate online.

Davis wrote in a tweet: "Top Russian propagandist Vladimir Solovyov fought back tears, as he discussed his visit to the frontlines, where Russia's troops, whom he described as 'intellectuals' informed of their intent to take Berlin and Washington."

Solovyov also said the Russian soldiers remained determined to continue the fight against Ukrainians and believed they were fighting Nazis.

He said: "You encounter such characters over there, in talking to them, you find out.

"Many of them were born in the territories that were later occupied, the youngest one over there is 24 years old.

"They're all my size, meaning they are not tall, these are intellectuals, their Russian language is excellent."

Solovyov then proceeded to speak about a Russian victory flag, also known as the Soviet Banner of Victory, that the soldiers had in what appeared to be their bunker, and what victory would mean to them.

He continued: "They said: 'As our intermediate step, we should take the flag back.'

"I said: 'But it was in Berlin,' and they said: 'Then we'll return it to Berlin.'

"All of them are very serious people when you talk to them, they don't have any questions as to whom they're fighting or what they're fighting for, they're fighting against the Nazis."

Solovyov also noted that the soldiers told him that they would fight as long as was necessary. He also highlighted how the soldiers spoke about America.

He said: "They said: 'We'll march all the way to the big puddle, maybe we'll have to take Washington as well.' As my buddy put it: 'We'll get to that a bit later,' he is a legendary paratrooper.

"He said: 'Until we drive them into the swamp, until only their hand is sticking out of it as they plead: 'Help me, help me, then we'll decide what to do with them.'"

Solovyov has previously spoken about Russians occupying other nations, including the United Kingdom.

While speaking with a guest on his show who said that many Russians now knew London very well, Solovyov joked that Russians there would be giving troops directions when they marched on the city.

He said: "I can imagine our troops entering London, our guys running out of pubs and shouting: 'Guys, turn left, turn right! We've been waiting for you here for a long time.' Russian partisans in action! Right?"

Newsweek has contacted Russia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs for comment.
