At the time when Russia is carrying out its special military operation in Ukraine, a threatening message like this could lead to another military dispute which may engage Russia in a serious situation.
Yesterday, Olga Skabeyeva, a russian propagandist who is known as the “iron doll” of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s television warned the world that the World War III has begun already. She said in a statement on TV, “maybe it’s time to admit that the Russian special operation in Ukraine is over. In the sense that a real war has begun.”.
“Russia is forced to demilitarize not only Ukraine but all the NATO countries”, Zakharova announced on TV.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova in a threatening way said, “We hope that Ankara will refrain from actions that could lead to a dangerous deterioration of the already difficult situation in Syria.”
