The Ukrainian invasion inside Russia has brought the world close to a “third world war”, Russian media has cited an MP in the country as saying.
Ukrainian forces broke through the border into Kursk last Tuesday and have since made significant advances, forcing Russia to evacuate more than 200,000 people.
State news agency RIA quoted parliamentary deputy Mikail Sheremet – an ally of Vladimir Putin – as saying: “Considering the presence of Western military equipment, the use of Western ammunition and missiles in attacks on civilian infrastructure and irrefutable proof of foreigners’ participation in the attack on Russian territory, one could come to the conclusion that the world is on the brink of a third world war.”
He also said NATO members had given their prior approval of the Ukrainian invasion – a claim Washington has denied.
