Putin propagandist who called for Ukrainian children to be drowned is 'seriously ill' in hospital 'after being poisoned'

Daily Mail  

A leading Putin propagandist who called for Ukrainian children to be drowned is 'seriously ill' after being poisoned, according to Ukrainian military intelligence. Krasovsky caused revulsion in October 2022 with his genocidal diatribe, saying Ukrainian children who saw Russians as occupiers under the Soviet Union should have been 'thrown in the Tysyna River with a strong current'. The star TV presenter was hospitalised apparently after a 'poisoning', Telegram posts said Krasovsky's savage rant on drowning Ukrainian children caused horror even among his own chiefs. Krasovsky's comments prompted widespread outrage, with RT editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan suspending him and demanding that he 'explain himself' Krasovsky apologised for the comments but lost his job at RT, formerly Russia Today 'How did it come about that today in Russia a good gay person is a dead gay person?.… As far as the deputies are concerned I am scum by the fact of my birth, and it was criminal negligence not to have made a note of that in my birth certificate,' he wrote.
