(TheLastPatriotNews.com) – In a new chilling declaration leaving the world on edge, Russia’s leader Vladimir Putin has warned about the looming risk of World War Three.
While he aims to impress with Russia’s latest hypersonic missile, his narrative largely deflects blame from Moscow’s role in the ongoing crisis amid Putin’s war against a pro-Western, democratic Ukraine.
Putin asserts that continued Western intervention in Ukraine raises the global conflict threat.
By accusing the West of crossing Russia’s “red lines,” he claims that NATO’s actions might intensify the situation, risking an expanded war.
Putin warned, “This will mean that NATO countries, the United States, and European countries are fighting Russia,” cited by Politico.
The White House summit could further aggravate the situation by allowing Ukraine more latitude for bold military actions against Russian targets.
Such developments may include using British-made Storm Shadow cruise missiles.
Meanwhile, military specialists suggest that U.S.-supplied ATACMS missiles could soon target Russian ground sites.
“The escalator here is Putin. Putin has escalated with the shipment of missiles from Iran,” stated UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy.
Putin proudly unveiled the Oreshnik hypersonic missile, capable of speeds up to Mach 10.
Knowing that Western defense systems struggle to intercept such velocities, Putin challenges the West to a “high-tech missile duel.”
With this advancement, Russia aims to reassert its position as a formidable military force on the world stage.
In the midst of this, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemns Russia’s missile tests, accusing the Kremlin of transforming Ukraine into a proving ground for untested weaponry.
Meanwhile, the global community, particularly NATO nations, ponders the potential implications of these developments.
The geopolitical landscape grows ever more precarious, with global leaders issuing concerns over potential escalation.
NATO claims the Russian missile advancements won’t drastically shift the conflict dynamics, underscoring the complex calculus governing this crisis.
As always, the prospect of diplomatic resolution remains an elusive but necessary goal.
“Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced the successful testing of a new intermediate-range ballistic missile, which he claims could be used against countries that have allowed Ukraine to launch strikes on Russia,” AP reports.
