Russian media massively spread the words of italian journalist Domenico Quirico to promote narrative about the "inevitability of the WW3"
Due to a series of explosions in the occupied Crimea, propagandists began a campaign to intimidate the world on the consequences of further demilitarization of the peninsula
In comments for La Stampa, Domenico Quirico expressed concern about the "Ukrainian attack" on Crimea. According to him, the consequences may be catastrophic, because there is a "desire to destroy russian unity" behind this
