On March 9, 2025, CTV channel aired another episode of “SASS is Authorized to Declare” with the following headline:
\nMacron threatens Russia | Ukraine’s fate decided? | Lukashenko sends a signal | SASS is authorized to declare<\/a>. Afterward, it is cut into shorts, which gather many more views than the program itself. Thus, a video with the headline “War with Russia will be a catastrophe for Western Europe! #macron #russia #war #news #politics” collected more than a million views in just 24 hours!
\nIn it, the invited online expert Nikola Mirkovic stated the following:<\/p>\n

And what is extremely dangerous is that the French army cannot fight against the Russian army today. And even the French, Germans and British combined, we don’t have knowledge of modern warfare that we see today in Ukraine. We don’t have the means, we don’t have enough missiles, so we can’t go to war. So I think he’s playing with this war rhetoric. However, this is very dangerous rhetoric, because a war between the West and Russia will end very badly for us, and it will be a catastrophe for Western Europe.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
