We need to patch up our vulnerabilities as fast as we can, and then we can do whatever we want,” she boldly proclaimed. “I’ve been agitating and even demanding that we take Donbas. Simonyan argued that once Russia minimizes its vulnerabilities and renders Putin’s opposition powerless-which she argued could happen in a matter of months-the Kremlin will finally be ready to annex Ukraine’s eastern region. With imprisoned opposition leader Alexei Navalny on a hunger strike-and suffering from severe health ailments after being denied appropriate medical treatment-the Kremlin seems to be firmly set on that course. She wholeheartedly endorsed a suggestion from Vladimir Zhirinovsky, the ultranationalist leader of Russia’s Liberal Democratic Party, who argued that all of Russia’s opposition must be eliminated by May 1, 2021. “We still don’t have a sovereign internet, but God willing, we will,” she said. Her solution consists of Stalin-type measures to eliminate “vulnerabilities” in the run-up to another escalation, emphasizing the need for a hack-proof, government-controlled internet. it will be a war of infrastructures, and here we have many vulnerabilities.” The top RT editor asserted that “ needs to be ready for this war, which is unavoidable, and of course it will start in Ukraine,” arguing that the Kremlin is “invincible where conventional war is concerned, but forget about conventional war.

Simonyan explained that it was time for Russia to gear up for a showdown against the U.S., and prophesized a kind of war driven by hacking, the forced disruption of internet access, the shutting down of power supplies, and an all-out offensive on U.S. The escalation was foreshadowed on state television’s Sunday Evening With Vladimir Soloviev over the weekend. “We warn the United States that it will be better for them to stay far away from Crimea and our Black Sea coast.
