Russian propagandists questioned the generally recognized borders of Ukraine in 1991. Margarita Simonyan says that Ukraine is a too big country, and therefore it should be “reduced”. According to her, this is what the Russian occupiers are doing now. In this way, the propagandist justifies the occupation of the territory of Ukraine and genocide.
She made a corresponding statement on the air of Russian propaganda television. An excerpt of the video was published on Telegram by Ukrainian journalist Denys Kazansky on November 30, 2022.
