Although the general mood on Russian television is one of dismay at the latest defeats suffered by the country’s armed forces, Yevgeny Satanovsky, one of the staunchest pro-Putin propagandists, has offered a list of NATO officials who must be killed.

He made the offer on Tuesday night’s “Evening with Volodymyr Solovyov” after the TV presenter asked him: “How are we going to win?” in Ukraine and how Russia should react to the Americans.

“Russia is what it is from the point of view of the nation. We will continue to be as we are. Those who are with us will be fine, and the rest we will kill. Get this, guys, I don’t have another recipe for you,” replied Satanovsky, who is now president of the Russian Middle East Institute after previously heading the Jewish Congress of Russia.

Even Solovyov, though angry in recent days, seems to have been amused by his words, as a TV host allegedly interrupted him with laughter to ask if that meant Russia should kill the 1.5 billion people living in NATO countries.

But Satanovsky answers as seriously as possible that it is not NATO as a whole that is acting against Russia, but “a relatively small group that is at the head of this camp. They threaten and are not afraid of anything. Since Gorbachev’s time, when we started playing by their rules, they stopped being afraid of us. This is the main factor.”

Yevhen Satanovsky proposes to kill “100-200” officials from NATO countries

He further clarified: “On the other hand, the process is not controlled by 1.5 billion people, but by approximately 100-200. They must realize that if it comes to that, it will mean the end for them personally. You know I know these people. I know them all. I saw them all.”

“The simple understanding that they personally faced the end … that alone will have an impact on these people,” he added.

Satanovsky confirmed that he had compiled a list of the names he had in mind, which Solovyov immediately called the “Satanovka List.”

“The list of Satanovsky? May be. We have to do such things, because any attempt to negotiate with Zelensky or Biden will be like a deal with his killer,” the Russian propagandist replied, noting that he is angry when people say that peace is better than war.

Russian television continues to present the war in Ukraine as an existential one for Russia

“No, peace is not better. There will be no peace. The aim of these people is for this country to cease to exist, for the people who live here to cease to exist, and for even the language we speak to disappear – or even the memory that any of it ever existed “.

“In the encyclopedias, they want to make an entry: ‘there were Russians, there was Russia, and now they have disappeared,'” continued Satanovsky.

Andriy Sidorov, deputy dean of the Faculty of International Relations of Moscow State University, was right, as he noted that after the annexation of the occupied Ukrainian territories, the war is raging on the territory of Russia.

“These are now our defeats. We are fighting on our land. Why should we show mercy to those who lead this war?” he asked rhetorically. “The destruction of the enemy’s government is a direct goal, a legitimate military goal,” he added.

Sidorov then complains that Russia has been trying to integrate into the West for 30 years, which apparently has led to a “lower tolerance for pain” among Russians, but it is even lower in Western countries.
