TL;DR Summary

Pavel Astakhov, former children's rights commissioner for Russia, said on a Russian state TV program that murdering ambassadors is "within the framework of international law." Astakhov made the comment while referencing Poland's ambassador to Russia, who has not been harmed despite protesters pouring red paint over Russia's ambassador to Poland. Astakhov believes "retaliatory measures for unfriendly actions" is not a crime and part of the nature of war. Astakhov resigned from his role in 2016 after making controversial comments. The host of the program, Vladimir Solovyov, has also made controversial statements in the past.
