Dmitry Konstantinovich Kiselyov[a] (Russian: Дмитрий Константинович Киселёв; born April 26, 1954) is a Russian TV presenter and propagandist.[1][2][3] In 2013, Kiselyov was appointed by Russian President Vladimir Putin to head Rossiya Segodnya, a Russian state-controlled media group. He also serves as deputy director of the All-Russia State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company.[4]

His comments have been controversial both in Russia and in the West, especially regarding homosexuality and the Euromaidan, the Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation in 2014 and his allegation of the US standing on "the side of the terrorist caliphate" ISIS, destroying Syria and bringing down Metrojet Flight 9268. Kiselyov has been on the list of personal sanctions imposed by the EU since 2014. In January 2023, Ukraine imposed economic sanctions on Dmitry for his support of 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[5]
