Russian state TV presenters say World War Three has started after Moskva sinking

A leading presenter on Russia's state TV has told the watching public that World War Three has started following the sinking of the Moskva. Officials have not acknowledged Ukraine’s claims that it struck the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet with cruise missiles.

The sinking of the Russian ship has sent the Kremlin's main channels into meltdown last night. Olga Skabeyeva told Rossiya 1 channel viewers that "what it's escalated into can safely be called World War Three" and insisted "that's entirely for sure."

“Now we're definitely fighting against Nato infrastructure, if not Nato itself. We need to recognise that,” reports the Mirror.
