Propagandist, originally from Kyiv, called for genocide

Bohdan Bezpalko, a member of the Presidium of the Council under the President of the Russian Federation for Interethnic Relations and the head of the organization "Ukrainians of Russia", made a public statement in which he essentially called for genocide of the Ukrainian nation and the destruction of Ukrainian statehood.

In the same speech, he also voiced threats about the possibility of launching nuclear strikes on European countries - in particular, Germany, Finland and Italy, Censor.NET reports.

"We want Ukraine as a state to cease to exist. For people to leave, to put it mildly, to emigrate. Or somewhere else far away. This is our goal," Bespalko said.

The cynicism of the situation is added by the fact that Bespalko was born in Kyiv and lived in the Ukrainian capital until he was 20, and today is the face of a pseudo-Ukrainian organization in Russia, which is used for the Kremlin's propaganda purposes.
