A Russian TV host has been fired from his position at the state-run RT network after saying that Ukrainian children should have been drowned and burned.
Anton Krasovsky, in a show broadcast last week, said children who criticised Russia should have been “thrown straight into a river with a strong current”, Reuters reported.
He addressed a statement made by Russian author Sergei Lukyanenko, who recalled visiting Ukraine in the 1980s and chatting to children who claimed their lives would be better if it weren’t for Russian domination.
They ought to have perished in the Tysyna River, according to Krasovsky.
Just drown them, drown them kids. Alternatively, he said, “they could be shoved into huts and burned”.
Krasovsky, a pro-war commentator who has received EU sanctions, also gave the impression that he was amused by claims that older Ukrainian ladies had been sexually assaulted by Russian forces during the invasion.
Margarita Simonyan, editor-in-chief of RT, called the remarks “disgusting” and noted that other network employees did not share his opinions.
Later, he admitted that he was “very humiliated” to have missed the barrier. about young people. However, it frequently occurs when you’re in the middle of a broadcast and lose control.
You are unable to stop. I’m hoping you’ll pardon me.
According to The Guardian, one Russian pundit, Sergei Markov, said the comments were so outrageous that Krasovsky must be working for western intelligence..
