Putin warns of World War III in case of Russia-NATO conflict

18 March 2024, 11:47 AM

Following the end of the sham "elections", Russian dictator Vladimir Putin decided to scare the world with World War III in case of a conflict between Russia and NATO, the Russian propaganda agency Interfax reported on March 18.

When asked whether a full-scale conflict between Russia and NATO is possible, Putin said that “everything is possible in the modern world.”

The dictator believes nonetheless that “hardly anyone is interested in this.”

“It is clear to everyone that this will be one step away from a full-scale World War III,” Putin said.

Earlier, U.S. intelligence said that Russia does not want a direct military conflict with the United States and NATO and will continue asymmetric activities that, according to its estimates, will not cross the threshold of military conflict on a global scale.

Bild, citing its own sources in the intelligence of a European country, reported that Russia may try to attack Europe in late 2024 or early 2025, when the United States will be “without a leader” and will be able to come to the aid of European states only after some delay.

Admiral Rob Bauer, Chairman of NATO’s Military Committee, said that civilians in the West should prepare for an “all-out war” with Russia.

German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said that Europe is once again “facing a military threat that has not been seen for 30 years” and warned of the possibility of a Russian attack in five to eight years.

Lithuanian Army Commander-in-Chief Valdemaras Rupšys said, however, that the possibility that Russia could start a war against NATO next year is extremely low.

The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.

Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.

For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
