Pro-Kremlin political leader orders his aides to 'violently rape' six-month pregnant journalist

A pregnant journalist was recovering in hospital last night after a pro-Kremlin political leader in Russia told two of his male aides to ‘violently rape’ her.

Nationalist Vladimir Zhirinovsky extraordinary outburst was launched after reporter Stella Dubovitskaya asked him a question about sanctions against Ukraine.

The attack against the journalist raised tensions and led separatists to call for Russian military intervention to protect civilians.

News agency Russia Today stated that Zhirinovsky’s conduct towards the pregnant reporter has been referred to the Russian parliament’s ethics commission and he faces legal action from Miss Dubovitskaya’s employer.

General Director Margareta Simonyan said: “We have decided to use all legal options to punish Mr. Zhirinovsky as severely as possible under the law Due to the disgusting incident in the state duma, after which our correspondent was hospitalized because of Vladimir Zhirinovsky’s discourtesy.”

After Miss Dubovitskaya’s question, Zhirinovsky shouted to his aides: “When I say, you run to her and violently rape her.”

He then pushed two aides towards her shouting: ‘Go and kiss her. Grab her.’
