(MENAFN) RT Editor-in-Chief Margarita Simonyan has convicted remarks from Russian-language broadcast host Anton Krasovsky proposing Ukrainian children should be “drowned,” and postponed his agreement.
Krasovsky commented throughout an episode of his program in which science fiction writer Sergey Lukyanenko was a guest. The latter stated that in 1980, in a hospital in the Uzhgorod district in Western Ukraine, local children said to him that “Ukraine is occupied by Muscovites,” and if this were not the case, their lives would be better.
Krasovsky replied to this by stating: “It is necessary to straight-up drown these children. A kid said that ‘Muscovites have occupied’ – you immediately throw them into a river with a turbulent current.” When Lukyanenko objected, Krasovsky added that children could still be “beaten into the hut and burned.”
On Sunday night Simonyan released a declaration on her Telegram channel, describing Krasovsky’s words as “wild and disgusting.”
“Perhaps Anton will explain what temporary insanity caused it and how it came out of his mouth. It is hard to believe that Krasovsky sincerely believed that children should be drowned,” she also said.
