Putin: The World War III is just a step away
Russian President, Vladimir Putin, said that danger of direct conflict between his country and NATO, which is led by the United States, and stressed that this could put the world on the brink of a third world war, expressing at the same time that almost none of the parties wanted to get involved in such scenarios.
It should be noted that the conflict in Ukraine has sparked a deep crisis in relations between Moscow and the West, especially since the Cuban missile crisis in 1962.
Despite Putin’s repeated warnings about the dangers of nuclear war, he insists that there is no need to use this type of weapon in the conflict in Ukraine.
Regarding the statements of French President Emmanuel Macron, who last month indicated the possibility of deploying ground forces in Ukraine, Putin confirmed the presence of NATO soldiers in the country, expressing his dissatisfaction with this situation, noting that they are monitoring two languages used on the battlefield.
The Russian president, who just won in the election, to remain in power for another term, expressed his hopes that Macron would seek to stop the escalation of the conflict in Ukraine and play a role in achieving peace, stressing that France is capable of playing a role in that, and pointed to Russia’s support for peaceful negotiations, adding that if there is real seriousness in building… Peaceful and good-neighborly relations in the long term.
Putin added, “The goal shouldn’t be merely rearmament after a certain period”.
