Russian TV presenter and propagandist Margarita Simonyan has made a disturbing statement about her personal health.

Axar.az reports that Simonyan said that she was diagnosed with a “very serious illness” last week, but did not disclose the details.

She added that she will undergo surgery tomorrow, but attended the event:

“The Patriarch said that I am a fighter. I came to support mothers, wives, sisters, and daughters who are waiting for their loved ones at home. I also came to support the relatives of soldiers at the front and all those who are fighting for the health of their loved ones,” Simonyan noted.
