Vladimir Putin's former advisor has suggested that Ukrainians should be "thankful" for Russia invading their country, prompting a heated clash with a UK radio host.

On Sunday, 16 February, Lewis Goodall spoke to Sergei Markov, former advisor to the Russian president and representative to the Council of Europe.

When discussing the possibility of peace, Mr Markov claimed Ukrainians should be "thankful" as Russia's bombs will liberate them from a "Neo-Nazi" regime, in what escalated into a heated clash between the Putin ally and the LBC host.

 

블라디미르 푸틴(Vladimir Putin)의 전 보좌관이 러시아가 우크라이나를 침공한 것에 대해 우크라이나인들이 "감사해야 한다"고 제안하자 영국 라디오 진행자와 격렬한 충돌이 일어났다.

2월 16일 일요일, 루이스 구달은 러시아 대통령의 전 고문이자 유럽 평의회 대표인 세르게이 마르코프와 대화를 나눴다.

평화의 가능성에 대해 논의할 때, 마르코프 장관은 러시아의 폭탄이 우크라이나인들을 "네오나치" 정권으로부터 해방시켜 줄 것이기 때문에 우크라이나인들은 "감사해야 한다"고 주장했다.

Lewis Goodall goes head-to-head with Sergei Markov, former adviser to Vladimir Putin. In a fiery exchange, Markov dismisses the possibility of a ceasefire, claiming past agreements were exploited to strengthen Ukraine’s military.

 

He denies Russia’s civilian casualties and argues that Ukraine is a "neo-Nazi regime."

 

When challenged on Russia’s invasion, Markov insists Ukraine is part of Russia, comparing it to British-Scottish relations.

 

Lewis counters this and questions why Ukrainians fiercely resist if they see Russia as liberators, but Markov maintains that Ukrainians will eventually be "grateful" for Russia’s actions.

 

He also rejects Western peacekeeping, accusing the UK of direct involvement in the war.

 

'Do you realise how ridiculous you sound?' Lewis stresses.

 

'Can I invite you to join planet reality?'
