News is from last year, but it's still dystopic for anyone that missed it:

At a European Commission press briefing in Brussels on 13 October, Nunziati asked the spokesperson Paula Pinho: “You’ve repeatedly said that Russia should pay for the reconstruction of Ukraine. Do you think Israel should also pay for the reconstruction of Gaza, given that it destroyed much of the Strip and its civilian infrastructure?”

on 27 October, the journalist received a letter terminating his working relationship with the news agency, which, however, did not specify the reasons for this decision.

The Agenzia Nova news agency told Fanpage.it that Nunziati’s question was “completely out of place and technically incorrect” and had created “embarrassment for the agency”

Oh, so you just regurgitate Russian propaganda out of your own free will?

You should ask to get paid.

Mate, the rise of fascism is supported by Russia to destabilize Europe. Russia itself is a fascist state. Almost every European nation has a rising far-right. I am just speaking the truth, if you don't like it, frankly, that's your problem. Go and get involved in activist efforts in your local area or something instead of shooting the messenger.

What out of what he said do you think is Russian propaganda? I am genuinely curious.

I'm guessing something along the lines of Russia justifying the invasion of Ukraine by claiming that it was ruled by fascists and that their special military operation was to liberate the people of Ukraine by bombing their hospitals and schools

Nothing. Typical shift in rhetoric because their original attempt at discrediting them with a personal attack on their credibility failed miserably, so they had to pull out their trump card which lets them continue to ignore the argument through another ad hominem attack.
