After the sinking of the famous cruiser Moskva, Russian state TV propagandists absurdly declared that World War 3 had begun.

Olga Skabeyeva, one of Putin’s top media leaders in Russia’s tightly controlled echo chamber of state-run media, strangely declared that the war in Ukraine had evolved into a fight against NATO.

She raged as Russia was humiliated once more when the flagship Moskva was abandoned at the bottom of the Black Sea.

Putin’s propagandists are urgently attempting to divert attention away from the tyrant’s military failings in a war that was presented to the Russian people as a swift win in a matter of days.

As a result, Russia is attempting to blame the West, despite the fact that countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom have remained neutral in the conflict, supplying only aid and munitions to Kyiv.

“In reality, a full-scale multi-level battle is happening with the collective West,” military pundit Dmitry Drozdenko said on separate state-run Channel 1.

“And the West has been preparing for war for a long time.”

Olesya Loseva, host of Vremya Pokazhet, warned viewers that the West was now supplying Ukraine with “zillions of weaponry.”

She stated Ukraine was carrying out “even more provocations, terrible, awful, totally inconceivable” at the request of the West.

These will “cause people to tremble once more and proclaim that Russia is unworthy of even remaining on the international map, and that all Russians should just be wiped off the face of the planet.”
