Sarah Ashton-Cirillo, the transgender ex-journalist from the US who is now a spokesperson for Ukraine’s Territorial Defense Forces, has issued yet another bizarre and unhinged statement on behalf of the Ukrainian military.
The military spokesperson is vowing that Russia’s “propagandists” will be “hunted down” in a message which was published days ago, but which is now going viral and being mocked.
Ashton-Cirillo said in the clip, “Next week, the teeth of the Russian devils will gnash ever harder, and their rabid mouths will foam an uncontrollable frenzy as the world will see a favorite Kremlin propagandist pay for their crimes.”
“And this puppet of Putin is only the first. Russia’s war criminal propagandists will all be hunted down, and justice will be served, as we in Ukraine are led on this mission by faith in God, liberty, and complete liberation,” he said.
The message appeared to be on the occasion of Ukraine’s criminal trial against detained Chilean-American journalist Gonzalo Lira. In May, Lira was arrested for a second time by the SBU and has been in detention since then, reportedly on charges of “justifying Russia’s aggression, denying/glorifying Russian war crimes, and undermining Ukraine’s leadership and Defense Forces.”
