Will Russia cause WW3?
The Russian invasion of Ukraine has apparently risked the start of WW3.
Russia invaded Ukraine again on 24 February 2022.
According to Russia’s state-owned TASS state news agency, the Russian lawmaker, Vladimir Dzhabarov has said that the United States, allowing Ukraine to defend themselves with US-made weapons that the Ukrainian forces can use to strike Russia, “is a very big step towards the start of World War III.”
Maria Butina, a Kremlin politician, said that the Biden administration was “trying to escalate the situation to the maximum“.
Dmitry Peskov, an official spokesman for the Kremlin, said that President Joe Biden was adding fuel to the fire and seeking to escalate the conflict in Ukraine.
Some military experts have stated that if Ukraine can now target supply lines and infrastructure in the heart of Russian territory, it could bring about the end of the Russian invasion.
If this war can be ended quickly, with Ukraine getting its territory back, many lives, including Ukrainian, Russian and North Korean could be saved.
It appears that the Russian leadership hasn’t realised that, they themselves, have created the possibility of a World War Three, with their military invasion of Ukraine almost three years ago.
