  • Russian state TV claimed that the UK wants war with Russia.

  • There is a link between the conflict and scandals around Princes Charles and Andrew.

  • The US warned of an imminent invasion as Russia amassed 150,000 troops at the Ukrainian border.

A segment on Russian state TV claimed that the British royal family wants a war with Russia to distract from their domestic troubles.

The Queen, Prince Charles, and Prince Andrew really want to distract attention, even if it is a war, said the host of the News of the Week show.

Kiselyov claimed that a war was being sought by the royals in order to distract from news such as Prince Andrew's legal settlement of Virginia Giuffre's sexual- assault case.

According to a translation by Insider, Kiselyov said.

The Royal Family is desperately in need of distraction, as Scotland Yard discovered that heir to the throne, Prince Charles, has been giving away high honors, titles, and even citizenships to a foreign businessman with an easy-to-remember name.

Right now, the court is not commenting on the police investigation but really wants to focus on the war. Prince Andrew agreed to use his mother's money to settle a US court case with the victim of his rape. The Queen will pay.

The war in eastern Ukraine is more interesting to her.

The segment was described as an "alternative reality" by Steve Rosenberg, the Moscow correspondent for the British Broadcasting Corporation.

The British royals had not commented on the events in Ukraine as of Monday.

Russia is on the verge of launching a war, according to both the Ukrainian and Western governments. President Joe Biden believes that Russian President Vladimir Putin will launch an attack.

Kiselyov, who is often called "Putin's mouthpiece" by Russia watchers, gave his Russian audience the opposite picture, that Russia was desperately seeking peace.

The Queen and her family have no say in the defense decisions made by the UK government.

By the time the segment aired, the royal narrative in the UK and the rest of the world had changed dramatically for a different reason.

Most British newspapers devoted more attention to that story on Monday than to the events in Ukraine.

Kiselyov claimed that the UK Prime Minister wanted a distraction because of his own leadership problems.

He claimed that France's president would benefit from war if he were re-elected, and that Turkey's president was pro-war because of the economic crisis in his country.

The three leaders have all said they are against a war.

Biden agreed in principle to meet with Putin, who has emerged as a conduit for diplomacy between Russia and the US.
