Ukraine is pushing for the global ban of RT after a presenter called for the drowning of Ukrainian children

Kyiv is describing Russian state broadcasters as a catalyst for genocide, after one of RT’s (Russia Today) presenters called for children to be drowned.

RT presenter Anton Krasovsky said children who criticised Russia should be “thrown straight into a river”.

Krasovsky is a journalist, and pro-war commentator who has been with RT for two years.

He has been sanctioned by the European Union and suspended for his derogatory comments.

Anton Krasovsky has been suspended for his comments.

RT’s editor-in-chief, Margarita Simonya, described the comments as “disgusting”, and said Krasovsky’s views were not shared by the network.

Krasovsky made the comments while responding to claims of Ukrainian children telling a Russian author they would live better lives if Moscow did not occupy their country.

“They should have been drowned in the Tysyna (river). “Just drown those children, drown them,” he said.

Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said “governments which have still not banned RT must watch this excerpt.”

“Aggressive genocide incitement (we will put this person on trial for it), which has nothing to do with freedom of speech. Ban RT worldwide.”

Moscow denies its forces have committed war crimes, and maintains the war in Ukraine is a special military operation.

Russian state-media has remained in support of the war in Ukraine.

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
