A guest on a Kremlin propaganda program has questioned whether Russians realize the gravity of the situation in Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.
"Maybe I am alarmist," he said in the latest clip. But considering what might come in the war,"what we are witnessing is a situation that is a lot more complex and dangerous than what happened during the Great Patriotic War," he said, referring to the Russian name for World War II. "This danger is great," Shakhnazarov said, adding that Russia had been caught out by the delivery to Kyiv of medium-range missiles which could hit Crimea, the peninsula annexed by Russia in 2014 that Ukraine has vowed to retake.

The 59-year-old doctor’s work to repair the bodies of some of the most badly injured soldiers is all-consuming. “I only operate,” Petro Nikitin says. “I do nothing else in my life now.
