A well-known Russian politician has proposed that Russia kidnap a Western defense minister and bring him to Russia for questioning, several media outlets report, including Reuters and Sky News.
In an interview on the talk show “60 Minutes”, which is broadcast twice daily on state television in Russia, Oleg Morozov, deputy to the State Duma in Russia, revealed what he described as his own “fantastic plan”.
– You know, maybe it’s a fantastic plan I’ve come up with … which means that in the near future, at some point, a “war minister” from a NATO country will take the train to Kyiv to talk to Zelensky. But he never shows up. And he wakes up somewhere in Moscow, he says.
Morozov has been a longtime member of the Duma of the largest party, United Russia, and has previously worked directly under President Vladimir Putin.
The host of “60 Minutes”, Olga Skabejeva, who is a staunch supporter of President Vladimir Putin, wanted to make sure she interpreted Morozov correctly:
– You mean to kidnap him? she asked.
Morozov replied in the affirmative:
– Yes. Then we would find out who gave what order for what, who is responsible for what, Morozov said, adding:
– It’s not such a crazy scenario. There are new rules in this world now. Just let all the “war ministers” who flock to Kyiv think a little about what it would be like to wake up in Moscow, he said.
