For those unaware, it was late last week that the Russian Black Sea flagship, the Moskva (named after Moscow), was sunk. Ukraine claims that they sunk the ship with Neptune missiles. Russia claims that the ship was sunk by a fire.

However, we now have the Russian state media claiming that the sinking of the Moskva is cause for war (which, to me, means that the whole "it caught fire" story is nonsense.) It was on the Russian-sponsored Rossiya 1 (Russia 1) TV show that well-known Russian journalist Olga Skabeyeva hosted a pundit talk session.

Regarding the current war, Skabeyeva said during the interview that "One can safely call what it has escalated into World War 3. That's absolutely for sure." She went on to say, "Right now, we're definitely fighting against NATO infrastructure, if not NATO itself. We need to recognize that."
