A guest on Russian state television said that the war in Ukraine could just be a... a stepping stone to bigger conflicts.
Alexei Fenenko, a researcher at Moscow's Institute for International Security Studies, posited how the invasion of Ukraine could be a testing ground for Moscow to wage even bigger wars.
"For us, the war in Ukraine is a rehearsal for a possible bigger conflict in the future," he said in the video released on social media. We will find out on the battlefield how much more powerful our weapons are than theirs."
As he said, before he was interrupted by the show's host, "this can be an experience for our future conflicts."
Fenenko's comments come on the heels of similar statements by guests on Russia-1, which promotes the Kremlin's propaganda about Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
The channel's pro-Kremlin - and anti-NATO - rhetoric included talk of missile strikes on Western capitals because of their support for Kiev's forces.
Regular guest Aleksey Zhuravlyov, from the nationalist Rodina political party, told the channel this month that "a Sarmat missile and the British Isles will no longer exist," referring to Moscow's newest intercontinental ballistic missile.
Last week, Scabeyeva, who has been described as the Kremlin's "propaganda chief", took aim at the Polish prime minister's criticism of Russian President Vladimir Putin. He said that Poland has "ceased to exist as an independent state."
