Russia Today's Simonyan hints at front line amid husband's coma

Margarita Simonyan, visibly emotional, recently shared on television that she considered going to the front line. One of the prominent figures in Russian propaganda, she stated she believes "she would be killed on the second day." She mentioned this would be the easiest solution following the illness of her husband, who is currently in a coma.

Simonyan is the editor-in-chief of "Russia Today" and one of the Kremlin's leading propagandists. In January, she reported that her husband, Russian propaganda film director Tigran Keosayan, fell into a coma after collapsing and experiencing clinical death.

Currently, Margarita Simonyan is using her husband's illness to disseminate propaganda on television. In one interview, she expressed that it would be much simpler for her to head to the front lines of the war with Ukraine.

The interviewer inquired whether she was afraid of going to the front and fighting. The propagandist quickly regained her composure, stating that she "only fears for her family," and the idea of fighting seemed a preferable situation to her.

The video was commented on by Anton Gerashchenko. The war blogger and former deputy head of Ukraine's Interior Ministry stated that Simonyan never seriously intended to go to the front.

Of course, warmonger Simonyan never intended to put her life in any danger - she's busy spreading Putin's propaganda, wrote Gerashchenko on social media, commenting on her appearance.

Many of the claims made by Russian media and government officials are likely inaccurate. Such reports may be part of the information warfare by the Russian Federation.
