Kyiv • UNN
Russian propagandist Simonyan complained about Ukrainian drone attacks. In February 2022, she claimed that Russia would defeat Ukraine "in two days."
Russian propagandist Margarita Simonyan complained about Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian TV. This was reported by UNN.
Details
According to her, long-range strikes by the Ukrainian Defense Forces directly affect her family.
"Drones are flying. It's unpleasant, it's scary. My children have been sleeping in the hallway for a month... in the hallway and also in the dressing room. Yes, indeed, in reality,"
However, during the same broadcast, the propagandist asked: "Why are these drones flying?.. Will they destroy Russia this way?.."
"The military significance is zero. The economic significance is incomparable to how much is spent on all of this. And how many retaliatory strikes they receive afterwards,"
She ended her speech with a call "not to fall" for attempts to return Russia to the 1990s, because "the motherland is not for sale."
For reference
In February 2022, Margarita Simonyan expressed confidence on Vladimir Solovyov's talk show that Russia would defeat Ukraine "in two days."
Later, Solovyov stated that no one intended to take Ukraine and Kyiv in a matter of days, and he did not know where these narratives came from.
In Ukraine, Simonyan is charged under four articles: "Genocide," "Encroachment on the territorial integrity of Ukraine," "War propaganda," and "Justification of the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine."
As a reminder
The International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) demands that the ICC issue arrest warrants for Russian propagandists Vladimir Solovyov, Margarita Simonyan, Dmitry Kiselyov, and Dmitry Medvedev for spreading hatred against Ukrainian civilians, which could be qualified as a crime against humanity.
