“Lloyd Austin is one of the worst, most powerful war criminals in the world at the moment,” RIA Novosti quoted Young as saying on Twitter.

In his opinion, Austin should be fired.

He also said that US President Joe Biden, his national security adviser Jake Sullivan, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and his deputy Victoria Nuland should be removed from their posts.

Earlier, Young said that Russia's task is to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine.
