Wednesday declared that World War III with the West has already begun \u2014 warning that the US would \u201cpay a heavy price\u201d for interfering in the Ukraine war.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/05\/20\/russian-tv-pundit-dubs-ukraine-war-rehearsal-for-nato-clash\/\">Olga Skabeyeva<\/a>, the steely-eyed host of \u201c60 Minutes\u201d on the state TV channel Russia-1, declared this week that the \u201cspecial military operation\u201d in Ukraine was over.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA real war has already begun \u2014 World War III,\u201d she said. \u201cWe are forced to conduct a demilitarization not only of Ukraine, but of the entire NATO alliance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Kremlin mouthpiece singled out Britain and the US, pointing out that the western counties have been<a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/06\/01\/russia-says-biden-escalating-war-by-armed-ukraine-with-missile\/\"> supplying huge quantities <\/a>of weapons to Ukraine that are now being used on the battlefield against Russia.<\/p>\n<p>Another Putin supporter, political scientist with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Vladimir Avatkov, then chimed in, saying: \u201canyone who would try to interfere with the special operation will pay a heavy price for it.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a

specter of nuclear war.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are so many people who have lined up to interfere with the Russia\u2019s special operation on the Ukrainian territory that we must act,\u201d she said, \u201cbut we have yet to figure out how to act without resorting to a nuclear strike.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Russian lawmaker Oleg Matveychev, who was also a guest on the program, darkly hinted that Poland could be Russia\u2019s next target, if it decides to become directly involved in the conflict.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a
