Gazmanov said he wants the occupation of the Baltic States

Russian singer Oleg Gazmanov, a propagandist and Putinist, has said that Russia should occupy the Baltic states. He said this in Boris Korchevnikov's programme on the propagandist ROSTV.

In his opinion, the Baltic States "got too much from Russia" he also resented the policy of the Baltic States towards Moscow.

We gave them Klaipeda, didn't we? They had no access to the Baltic Sea - we gave them half of the Curonian Spit. We gave them all this. How do they behave after that? How can you not punish them? Well, we have to. We need to dot the i's then," he said.

Note, Klaipeda according to the Versailles Peace Treaty was transferred under the collective management of the Entente countries (a bloc that included the Russian Empire, Britain and France), then returned to Lithuania.

Earlier Gazmanov complained about the EU sanctions that prevented him from entering his homes in Italy and Latvia, which he bought 15 years ago.
