Ukraine: Jeremy Vine suggests Russian soldiers ‘deserve to die’ in invasion

Jeremy Vine has sparked backlash after suggesting that Russian soldiers “probably deserve to die” in the Ukraine invasion.

The TV presenter made the comments on Monday’s edition of his Channel 5 talk show.

"The brutal reality is, if you put on a uniform for Putin and you go and fight his war, you probably deserve to die, don’t you?" Vine asked a caller who had suggested the people of Russia "are not our enemies".
