Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has invited Russian propagandists, including an infamous TV anchor Vladimir Solovyov, to come visit Donbas.

"Come, I'll personally show you around. But this must be real, not like some of you do, like that one guy Solovyov. And I always say – come and look at what's happening in Ukraine," Zelensky said, addressing a Russian journalist at a joint press conference with the other three leaders of the Normandy Four following their summit, recalling how he personally visited the village of Stanytsia Luhanska and talked with local residents, Ukrainian TSN TV news service reports.
