Propagandists in Russian media claim that Mykhailo Podoliak, adviser to the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, called for the murder of “the largest number” of Russians, which allegedly testifies to the “inhumane” nature of the Ukrainian state. However, this is manipulation.

Specialists of The Insider project drew attention to it. They noticed a strong reaction to Podoliak's statement in the Russian media space and found out that the quote was taken out of context. In its full version from the air of the United News marathon, it is clear that he  was not talking about all Russians, but about the soldiers of the occupying army.

Putting it in this light, the propagandists want to justify their aggression against Ukraine by fighting the “monsters”. Allegedly, the Ukrainians are so cruel that they call for the destruction of an entire nation. However, it is the Russians who commit genocide against Ukrainians.
