Jackson Hinkle popped up on Russian state TV last night

Described as a "member of the US Communist Party", he’s been busy helping the Russian Communists send a shipment of "humanitarian aid" to Donbas

The correspondent suggested that most of it is going to soldiers on the frontline

Russian MP Sergei Mironov has turned up for work at the State Duma wearing a Putin Oreshnik missile t-shirt over his shirt

The shirt says "krepky oreshnik", an attempted pun on the Russian name for the Die Hard films ("krepky oreshek" - tough cookie, literally tough nut)

Earlier this week (i.e. before Putin’s address) Solovyov and his cronies on Russian state TV were fantasising about launching an ICBM at Trafalgar Square and "washing away" the UK with the Poseidon nuclear torpedo (also a favourite threat of fellow propagandist Kiselyov)

As Natasha says, it’s all about the Western reaction on Russian state TV today

This was the start of this morning’s edition of 60 Minutes on Rossiya 1

Last night at the end of his weekly show, Russian state TV’s Dmitry Kiselyov commented on the decision to let Ukraine strike targets inside Russia

He said the US, UK and France would be directly entering the war "with all the ensuing consequences for their own territories and those inhabiting them"

What better for my first post here than a Russian pundit laying into those pesky Brits

This is Marat Bashirov discussing a report in The Times suggesting that Ukraine could develop its own nuclear weapon if Donald Trump stops supplying military aid
