Ukrainian military intelligence said Anton Krasovsky, 48, former director of Kremlin-backed channel RT, was reportedly the target of a Moscow assassination attempt.
Krasovsky initially said he was recovering in hospital, but a source in the Defence Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine [HUR] alleged he “continues to deteriorate” adding his most recent messages were likely “not written by the propagandist himself”.
The suggestion is that he was the victim of an assassination bid in Moscow by Ukrainian military intelligence.
Krasovsky – a star state TV presenter – caused revulsion in October 2022 with his genocidal diatribe against Ukrainian children.
“Just drown those children, drown them in the Tysyna [River],” he had said in recorded TV comments that were not edited.
“You throw them in the river with a strong undercurrent…..”
He also called for burning Ukrainian children to death in huts in the Carpathian Mountains.
“Shove them right into their huts and burn them.”
