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.
