The scandal surrounding the statements of the Russian propagandist Anton Krasovsky

Anton Krasovsky publicly called for "drowning and burning of Ukrainian children" in one of the broadcasts of his author's program on Russia Today in 2022.

Ukrainian expertise recognized later that the propagandist's statements were public calls for the genocide of Ukrainians.

Anton Krasovsky was sentenced in absentia to five years in prison, the SBU press service reported on Feb. 17, 2023.

The SBU charged Krasovsky of another suspicion on Aug. 18, 2023, specifying that he was hiding from Ukrainian justice abroad.
