Vladimir Putin will spark a third world war if the Russian president is allowed to declare victory in Ukraine, according to the boss of the country’s biggest private employer.
Yuriy Ryzhenkov, chief executive of Metinvest, which ran the sprawling Azovstal steelworks that became the site of a relentless Russian assault at the start of the 2022 invasion, warned of the consequences of a Kremlin victory.
“I don’t believe that if Ukraine fails, Putin will stop,” he said in an interview ahead of the two year anniversary of the war in Ukraine. “The Baltic states, Poland, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia are the next targets.”
Could lead to escalations, which would in hindsight be a clear path to world war. Interesting discussion to be had for sure.
Certainly possible, but in that case the US’s activities in the middle east couldn’t really be blamed
How so?
Because they did not cause the Ukraine war?
Oh sorry, I thought you meant you can’t blame them for their actions, not the world war thing. I gotchu now.
