Russia Today: Bombing Ukraine is the only possible option
“They are preparing to take over our Crimea and we are doing the only thing we can do: we are bombing”: thus the Russian propaganda apparatus reacts to the growing difficulties of the army in Ukraine, the danger of trial by the vanquished. At the International Criminal Court in The Hague or in a special court proposed by the European Union. Margarita Simonyan, editor-in-chief of the state-funded channel Russia Today which is banned in most European countries, told national television that destroying Ukraine’s infrastructure was “the only thing we can do”, given the high casualties the military has suffered. Russia on Earth. He emphasized this by saying, “We didn’t want that, and nobody wanted it, not even the leadership,” which was indeed very “mean.”
He then issued a warning, following the EU Commission’s proposal to create an international tribunal for Russian war crimes: “If we lose,” the court in The Hague or some similar body “will also go after a street sweeper who swept up cobblestones behind the Kremlin walls.” Even the host of the program, Vladimir Soloviev (who is considered very close to Vladimir Putin), expressed the same opinion. “Whether another district of Kyiv runs out of electricity or not, it will not change the level of catastrophe that our country will face if we lose,” Soloviev stressed. Adding that in this case there would be no court, “there would be nothing left but ashes.”
