Russia Warns the U.S. of the Risk of World War III

Russia has warned that the West is “playing with fire” by considering allowing Ukraine to strike deep into Russia with Western missiles. Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Ukraine’s demands for the West to allow it to strike deep into Russia with Western weapons amounted to blackmail. Lavrov also stated that Russia is adjusting its nuclear weapons doctrine and that it is dangerous for Western nuclear powers to “play with fire.” Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said that the U.S. involvement in the current Ukrainian incursion into the Kursk region of western Russia is an obvious fact.
