Krasovsky made brutal remarks about the show last week that were almost dehumanizing and outrageous.
Anton Krasovsky, the host of Russian state TV RT, made an almost dehumanizing and outrageous remark on the show last week, arguing that Ukrainian children who criticized the Russian occupation during the Soviet era should be “thrown straight into rapid “. the fast flowing river, “he said with his index finger,” drown those children, drown them “and even suggested that they push them into the hut and burn them to death.

According to Reuters, Krasovsky interviewed Russian science fiction writer Sergei Lukyanenko on a show that aired last week.

The mother tongue, the return to peaceful life and normal learning “. … for all reasons. To those who are shocked by these remarks, I ask for your forgiveness. “
Russian state television, closely controlled by the Kremlin, has strongly supported the invasion of Ukraine and has often called on Russian President Vladimir Putin to take a more aggressive approach to the invasion. However, remarks about Krasovsky’s killing of children appear to have gone beyond the limits of the Russian authorities. The investigative committee, which investigates the most serious crimes, said today that it was asked to investigate Krasovsky’s “harsh statement” and ordered the TV station to file a report.
