New Delhi: Russian State TV declared that World War III has already started after sinking of its naval vessel Moskva in the Ukraine war. Russia has stated that it was damaged after a fire broke out. But Ukraine is claiming the credit of destroying the flagship vessel of Moscow’s Black Sea Fleet through its Neptune missile.
But the sinking of the ship led to meltdown on the Kremlin’s main propaganda mouthpiece Russia 1. Presenter Olga Skabeyeva made the chilling statement, informing the viewers that “what it’s escalated into can safely be called World War III” and insisted “that’s entirely for sure.”
“Now we’re definitely fighting against Nato infrastructure, if not Nato itself. We need to recognise that,” Skabeyeva further said, according to Metro.
A guest on the show compared the sinking of Moskva to an attack on Russian soil. The comparison was made despite of Kremlin insisting that it went down because of a fire.
The man was reminded that instead of calling it a war, it should be termed as “special military operation” – the government-approved phrase to be used for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
