Russian state TV host Vladimir Solovyov claimed Americans may begin to question how much money is being sent to Ukraine while banks attempt to avoid collapse.
Russian state TV host Vladimir Solovyov mocked America following the closure of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and warned of future problems befalling the U.S.
Solovyov questioned whether other U.S. banks would collapse in the coming weeks and months.
SVB had been the 16th-largest bank in the U.S. but officially collapsed last Friday, forcing the federal government to step in. At the time it failed, the bank had assets estimated at more than $200 billion. Its collapse is the biggest since the 2008 global financial crisis.
Russian state TV hosts and guests regularly mock the United States and the West for their difficulties, often exaggerating the impact or extent of the issues.
Solovyov also argued that Americans would begin to question how much money is being sent to Ukraine rather than protecting U.S. banks.
Speaking on state TV, he said: „American banks are shutting down, one after another.
„What’s surprising is they’re telling us stupid stuff and expect us to believe it.
„In the last few days, 3 of them have kicked the bucket.
