Initially predicting the fall of Kyiv in 2 or 3 days, Simonyan changed her discourse as the Russian assault in Ukraine stagnated and forecast a nuclear strike as 'most probable' outcome of Ukraine war:https://t.co/zU9EjR45cw

After Kazakhstan did not back Russia in the 2022 war, Keosayan threatened Kazakhstan on his show and suggested Kazakhs "look at Ukraine carefully, think seriously".
