Russian state-run media outlet RIA Novosti columnist Kirill Strelnikov who is also a Kremlin insider has said that no Ukrainians should be left alive.
In a written piece titled “There is no other option: no one should be left alive in Ukraine,” Strelnikov said the Ukrainians are “happy with their fate.”
Strelnikov said the Ukrainians are “ready to die,” over what he scoffingly said “the best army in the world.”
He describes the Ukrainian troops as “laboratory rats” adding there is “no need for lacy underwear for the dead.
Strelnikov is repeating the Kremlin’s narrative saying Ukraine is a giant “military training ground” for the West, the Kyiv Independent reported.

This could well be Russia’s coordinated effort to recruit more civilians in to the Russian armed forces to mobilise for a wider war.
Last week the Ukrainian intelligence chief Kyrylo Budanov warned Vladimir Putin will spend $1 trillion over the next 11-years for the “upcoming large-scale war.”
The Kremlin is mobilising all sectors of Russian society for further military buildup and two new military districts has been created.
Budanov said, “There is a total mobilisation of politics, economy, and society of the Russian Federation to be ready for the upcoming large-scale war.”
The Kremlin is preparing for additional military units and divisions and their aim it to reshape the global order, not just regional domination, the Kyiv Independent reported.
Budanov added, “Russia seeks to disrupt the current security and economic order.
“For this purpose, Moscow is building up its presence in Africa, primarily using its proxy forces.”
He continued, “Moscow’s goal is to impose on countries its own vision of the future world order, where ‘big’ states, primarily the Russian Federation, have full power, a monopoly on all critical resources and decide the fate of the world in a closed circle.”
The Kremlin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Russia is prepared to ramp up their war efforts to levels not seen since World War Two as “millions” of Russian civilians are supporting the military.
