The Daily Star, the British tabloid, accused a Russian news outlet of promoting propaganda when it reported that Moscow is no longer interested in just Ukraine and is looking to demilitarize all of NATO, which means WWIII.
The report pointed to Olga Skabeyeva, “of Putin mouthpiece Rossiya-1,” who said the historic amount of weapons transfers from the West to Ukraine means the war that was once isolated now “spilled over into a global conflict.”
“It’s time to admit, perhaps, that Russia’s special operation in Ukraine is now over, in the sense that a real war has started, World War III. We are being forced to demilitarize, not just Ukraine but NATO as a whole.”
She mentioned a missile attack from Ukrainian forces that hit Donetsk, where Russian troops have been focusing their attack. She said they were not only Soviet-era Smerch MLRS that hit the city. They “were carried out with American M777 howitzers. These Russian troops have also been seen using armored vehicles that were provided by the U.K.. One official from the U.K. told the paper that the Russian army is nearing a point where it cannot “take any more losses.”
The decision last week by President Joe Biden to provide Russia with advanced rocket systems that can be outfitted with missiles capable of traveling about 200 miles rankled Moscow.
Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy chairman of Russia’s national security council, said in an interview with Al Jazeera that Moscow could target Western cities if Ukrainian forces fire these weapons into Russia.
“If, God forbid, these weapons are used against Russian territory then our armed forces will have no other choice but to strike decision-making centers,” he said. He continued, “Of course, it needs to be understood that the final decision-making centers in this case, unfortunately, are not located on the territory of Kyiv.”
