This Monday, May 30, during an interview, Oleg Morozov, MP for Vladimir Putin’s party, came up with a crazy hypothesis: kidnapping a defense minister from a NATO member country who was going to Kyiv.
How far will Russian propaganda go? In any case, MP Oleg Morozov seems to have relatively few limits. As a guest of the TV show “60 Minutes” on the state channel Rossiya-1, the latter made at least a surprising proposal.
“A Fantastic Storyline”
“You know, maybe it’s some fantastic conspiracy I’m planning… that sometime in the near future a war minister from a NATO country will take a train to Kyiv to talk to Volodymyr Zelenskyy. But he would not make it … And he would wake up somewhere in Moscow,” he began, according to words translated and shared by our colleagues from Nice-Matin.
Oleg Morozov is then revived by a pro-Kremlin journalist: “You mean we would remove it?” Without hesitation, the MP continues: “Yes.
Several ministers have already come to Kyiv
“It’s not such a mythical image,” he said, according to Reuters news agency. “There are new rules in the world now. Let all these war ministers gathered in Kyiv think a little what it would be like to wake up in Moscow…”
According to CNEWS, many politicians have already traveled to Kyiv to show their support for Ukraine. This applies in particular to the new French foreign minister, Catherine Colonna.
