A court in Ukraine sentenced Russian propagandist, ex-director of the “Russia Today” TV channel Anton Krasovsky to five years in prison for calls to kill Ukrainian children.

This was reported by the Prosecutor Generalʼs Office.

The court found Krasovsky guilty of public calls for genocide.

Prosecutors proved in court that in 2022, the propagandist publicly called for the drowning and burning of Ukrainian children on the air of his authorʼs program. The story appeared on the “Russia Today” TV shows and on Krasovskyʼs personal channels on YouTube and Telegram, where he has several hundred thousand subscribers.
