According to Margarita Simonyan, editor-in-chief of the Russian propaganda TV channel RT, the Russian Armed Forces destroyed the main military forces of Ukraine in the first days of the war, “when they took Gostomel.” Then the war with NATO began.
On Russian TV they said they defeated Ukraine in the first few days of a full-scale invasion, and now they are at war with NATO. This was stated by the editor-in-chief of the Russian propaganda TV channel RT Margarita Simonyan, a video fragment on her Twitter published Advisor to the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Anton Gerashchenko.
Simonyan claims that he allegedly has no doubt that Russian troops are capable of resisting the West.
“Let’s understand who we are fighting with. We are not at war with any Ukraine. We defeated Ukraine as such in the first two or three days, how many days there. When they took Gostomel … well, they completely disarmed Ukraine, destroying its main military forces, and then the war began with NATO and not only with NATO, because we are at war with countries that are not members of NATO. So, now there is a war with NATO on the territory of Ukraine,” the propagandist said.
Simonyan says that it is enough to imagine what will happen “when we win this war.”
“I deliberately say not if, but when, with God’s help,” Simonyan said, and crossed herself at the same time.
Having made the sign of the cross, one of the first persons of Russian propaganda declared that with the capture of Bakhmut (the city is called Artyomovsk in the Russian Federation) and Ugledar, Russia “will defeat the entire Western world, which is now sending all its power there.”
Simonyan also mentioned that some in the Russian Federation call the war in Ukraine a “special operation”, while others call it a war. She sees no fundamental difference.
Simonyan – about the victory over Ukraine “in two or three days”
Ukraine’s reaction
Advisor to the Interior Minister of Ukraine Anton Gerashchenko noted that, in the event of the capture of Bakhmut, the Russian Federation will present it as a “great victory over NATO.”
“A Difficult and Dangerous Decade”
The Russian invasion of Ukraine and Chinese aggression in Taiwan could shape a world that can be described in words such as “danger, disorder and division.” British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak warned about this.
The British Prime Minister predicts a “difficult and dangerous decade.” The UK government on Monday, March 13, published an updated forecast regarding defense, security and foreign policy.
The 63-page document says that the world is facing the biggest challenges in decades, and current security threats could escalate into “uncontrolled conflict” with the use of nuclear weapons.
The British leadership sees as a priority task measures aimed at eliminating the threats posed by the war unleashed by Russia in Europe,
At the same time, a potential war in the Indo-Pacific region, where China threatens to invade Taiwan, could have “even greater global consequences compared to the war in Ukraine.”
Earlier Focus reported that the Kremlin assessed the possibility of peace talks with Kiev. Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov sees it possible to achieve the goals of the war in Ukraine “only by military means.”
Recall that before the spring counter-offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Spanish instructors are training tankers from Ukraine on Leopard 2. Training takes place at the training ground in Zaragoza.
