On 10 March 2022, during a broadcast on Russia-1, Shakhnazarov, who initially supported the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine,[9] called for an end to it, saying that the situation was at risk of becoming "an absolute humanitarian disaster", and that there is no realistic possibility for the Russian forces to seize Kyiv and other major Ukrainian cities.[10]
