A group of Russian grandmothers has blamed the war with Ukraine on MI6 in a bizarre video.<\/p>\n
In a recently surfaced clip on social media platform X, the group of elderly Russian women known as the ‘Putin’s squads’ has stirred controversy by blaming the British intelligence agency MI6 for the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.<\/p>\n
The video, which has garnered attention for its sensational claims, depicts several elderly women passionately asserting their beliefs.<\/p>\n
The video begins with one woman fervently shouting: “I would like to say on behalf of the ‘Putin’s squads’ that every Russian knows behind all of the missile strikes on Crimea and the Crimean bridge stand not Ukrainians, but the British intelligence service MI6.<\/p>\n
“All of that is set up by them. People in Britain shouldn’t hope that Russians will ever forget it. We remember it all, we will not forget that and all of that will be retaliated.”<\/p>\n

There are hungry people all over the place. Peaceful people are dying. Why don’t you love your own people? We have to respect them and not barge into another country. Get out of Ukraine!”<\/p>\n A third woman in the video issues a dire warning, stating, “Your games will end badly for your own country!”<\/p>\n The video was mocked on social media platform X, where Anna Komsa, EU International Affairs & Intercultural Negotiator for Eastern Europe, wrote: “Is it really worth it to film these grannies in Russia?<\/p>\n “If Putin had an army of his weirdos, we’d almost be worried.”<\/p>\n Don’t miss… <\/strong> Anton Gerashchenko, who posted the video on X, also chimed in, mocking the women’s statements: “‘Get out of Ukraine!’, they chant. A sound piece of advice to themselves.”<\/p>\n It comes as Russian President Vladimir Putin is wagering that international support for Kyiv will sooner or later begin to flag, and Peskov said the fatigue will eventually bring \u201cfragmentation\u201d of Ukraine\u2019s foreign assistance.<\/p>\n But UK Defence Secretary Grant Shapps insisted \u201cwe\u2019re a long way from the U.S. withdrawing its support\u201d from Ukraine, and reaffirmed British commitment.<\/p>\n \u201cBritain will, regardless of what happens elsewhere, take a leadership role,\u201d Shapps said during a meeting at the Conservative Party\u2019s annual conference in northern England.<\/p>\n We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.
