Simonyan spoke about repressions against Russians in the territories of Ukraine abandoned by the Russian army
Everything must be done so that when everything in Ukraine ends with the victory of the Russian army, the people who supported Russia do not say: “damn you,” but thank you for the liberation from the Kyiv regime.
RT editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan stated this on the Rossiya 1 TV channel, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“It’s a very sad story. Unfortunately, it is not unique at all. These are people who are ardently for us, but remain in the territories from which we are leaving. Tactically or strategically, for a time or not for a time.
A woman, the chairman of the village council of a village with the telling name Kutuzovka, Nadezhda Antonova. She was arrested in front of the enthusiastic television cameras of the British and other Western media, under enthusiastic cameras, articles immediately written that look, how cool - they took, arrested, handcuffed the woman because she called on her fellow villagers to wear white armbands as a sign that they support Russia.
We moved away from this particular settlement - for a long time or not, but now, she paid for it with her fate. Naturally, they could not shoot her or tear her into pieces in the presence of Western television cameras. But they don’t care what happens to her next.
So I really ask everyone who has anything to do with this - let us worry. Come on, when this ends with God's help, not a single Russian person can doubt that we will win. This is unimaginable. When this ends with our victory, we need these people who are with us and for us not to tell us - damn you, but to say thank you. How were they going to do this when it all started initially,” she noted.
“There are a lot of such people, don’t underestimate it. I know I'm saying sad things, but that's how it is. We must deal with everyone who harmed these people. We must save those who can be saved and reward those who need to be rewarded,” Simonyan urged.
Thank you!
