The head of Russia Today has admitted to cracks appearing in Vladimir Putin’s empire

Speaking on The Evening program, Margarita Simonyan has admitted that Russia’s elite are concerned about the outcomes of the Ukraine war.

“God knows we didn’t want this…

Everyone with no exception will be held accountable. All of us will be considered guilty.”

She explained they’re concerned about the possibility of being tried for war crimes, and that if Russia lose, there’s no win for anyone who currently supports Putin.

“I am amazed by our people—and I unfortunately know many of them—including those in very high circles, who are afraid of this and are scared to call things by their proper names because of what people over there may think.”

“We could spit on what they think over there! People who are afraid of the Hague—listen, you should be afraid to lose, to be humiliated and be afraid to betray your people. Let me tell you that if we manage to lose, the Hague—whether real or hypothetical—will come even for a street cleaner who is sweeping the cobblestones behind the Kremlin.”

Simonyan also claimed Russian forces will be subject to future war crimes trial and ‘catastrophe’ if it loses the war against Ukraine.

The host of the program, Vladimir Solovyov finished the conversation with a stark nuclear warning.

“There won’t be any Hague if this happens, there won’t be anything at all. The whole world will be reduced to ashes.”

Trump claims Iran’s military largely neutralized; tensions rise with attacks threatening air travel and oil shipping.

President Trump says Iran’s military capability has been largely neutralised, including its navy and air force, as the conflict in the Middle East intensifies. Iranian attacks have threatened commercial air travel and oil shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, raising fears of wider economic fallout.

The U.S. Embassy in Riyadh has faced two attacks, while Gulf states worked to intercept further Iranian strikes. Officials report six U.S. troops killed and more than 700 deaths inside Iran as the exchange of fire escalates.

With global markets watching closely, the region remains on edge as military and diplomatic tensions show no signs of easing.
