And here we have it - in a rant seemingly aimed at explaining to viewers why the "special operation in Ukraine" is taking so long, Russian state TV presenter Olga Skabeyeva says her country is fighting World War Three against Nato I've added subtitles pic.twitter.com/MQW0UfiQso — Francis Scarr April 14, 2022 Rossiya 1 presenter Olga Skabeyeva implored viewers to “recognise” that Russia was now “fighting against NATO infrastructure, if not NATO itself,” according to Independent. Skabeyeva’s remarks follow a symbolic defeat for Moscow with sinking of the flagship of its Black Sea fleet, Moskva. Otherwise, on the whole, it’s impossible to accept the special operation which we started - Russia’s special operation in Ukraine,” Skabeyeva said.
