Zelenskyy promises Russian propagandists will be punished as accomplices in war crimes
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stressed that Russian propagandists will be held accountable for war crimes in the same way as the Russian government, which has ordered the bombing of civilians in Ukraine.
Zelenskyy stated this in a video message on March 10.
"Information about the victims of yesterday's bombing of a maternity hospital and children's hospital in Mariupol appeared last night.
You know, this topic was mentioned on Russian television. It was on a talk show. But not a word of truth was said. The Russians were lied to that there were no patients in the hospital and women and children in the maternity hospital. The Russians were lied to that "nationalists" had allegedly settled there.
They lied confidently. As always. War crimes are impossible without the propagandists who cover them up.
I want to tell them one thing: you will answer in the same way as those who order bombs to be dropped on civilians.
We will find all the property of propagandists and their associates. We will do our best to confiscate it wherever it is. You love a rich life. Love prosperous countries. You will not have this anymore. And this is just the beginning.
You will be prosecuted for complicity in war crimes. And…
It will definitely happen. Russian citizens will hate you. Everyone, you are cheating on right now. When they feel the effects of your lies. Feel in their wallets. With the possibilities, which are becoming fewer and fewer. With the stolen future of Russian children.
War is never isolated. It always beats both the victim and the aggressor. The aggressor just realizes it later.
But it always understands. And it always suffers," the president stressed.
