Threats of World War 3 by Russian foreign minister ahead of Western Summit

Apr 26 2022

Ahead of a meeting between the United States and allies about sending further arms to Ukraine, Russia has issued warnings of the ‘real’ threat of World War 3 breaking out.

Western forces have been quite reluctant to deepen their involvement in the conflict between the neighbouring countries as they feared a war against nuclear-armed Russia.

Moscow’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warned the risk of a Third World War is serious and went on to criticise Kyiv’s approach to floundering peace talks.

‘It is real, you can’t underestimate it’ said Lavrov. This follows months of urging by Ukrainian President Zelenskyy to Western allies to send heavy weapons such as artillery and fighter jets.

NATO countries are now pledging to provide a range of heavy weapons and equipment despite protests from Moscow. Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin and Secretary of State Antony Blinken met Zelenskyy and promised $700 million in aid to Ukraine.

40 other countries will also hold a security summit in Germany on Tuesday to discuss further arms to Ukraine, as well as to ensure the country’s long term security once the war is over.

Among invited countries are EU allies, Australia and Japan. Meanwhile, Finland and Sweden, which have been traditionally neutral countries, have been considering NATO membership.
