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.”

DMYTRO KULEBA, UKRAINE’S FOREIGN MINISTER

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.

Kamala Harris and Donald Trump squared off in their first and possibly only debate, with both sides taking some big swings.

Harris wasted no time poking fun at Trump’s rallies, even daring viewers to see for themselves.

That dig clearly got under Trump’s skin.

At one point, Trump bizarrely claimed immigrants were eating pets in Ohio – a claim swiftly debunked by the moderators.

Harris hit Trump hard on his election fraud claims, reminding voters that 81 million Americans fired him in 2020.

Things heated up when the two accused each other of using the Justice Department for political attacks – calling each other threats to democracy. #featured #trending #hotshots
