Speaking after he declared victory in Russia’s sham presidential election, Vladimir Putin warned Nato against any move that would risk direct conflict with Russia, saying this would be “one step away from World War 3”.
Asked about the dangers of a wide scale Nato-Russia conflict, Mr Putin said: “Everything is possible in the modern world.”
It is only the latest example of Mr Putin dangling the threat of a larger, or even nuclear, conflict in Europe as he attempts to pressure Ukraine’s Western allies against an escalation of their involvement in his war.

This is how raggedy, garbage western media do propaganda. 🤡🤡
Wow what a threat from a old man with issues
Now finally.!
Stop fooling ourselves in the west !!!!!…
It's not just evil Putin .
It's clearly the Russian people that support him and his world war threats
Russian history is of dictatorship and need it to be so .
Evil Russia has voted to Inpower him .
Shame on Russia!!!!
Honestly, the media industry needs to QUIT IT!! And it's not WWIII this current war is WW something but for certain NOT WWIII
Putin thinking he has a chance against NATO in a WW3 is like Nikki Haley thinking she had a chance at the White House.
hes like the bully at school no one respect him, they only scared of him
🇷🇺👑️💃🖕
Just let it happen at this point everyone is like pussies damn resort to nukes ayy putin weak.
Nato been pushing for WW 3 since 2014 when stuck our nose in ukraine elections
No we are threatening Russia therefore they have no other options
Hey can't even win the war. He started with his own people.🤡🤡🤡😂😂
Even China recognizes Ukraine's sovereignty, and with that fact Ukraine can do all the F they want including with who, even Nato. It's that simple.
STOP YOUR STUPID PROPAGANDA?
As a former World Economic Forum young global leader under Klaus Schwab, Putin has done well since he left.
Ursula Von Der Leyen is a member of the board of Trustees of the World Economic Forum.
Here in the UK we have our own Quislings hiding in plain sight who serve the same foreign and corporate interests as Ursula Von Der Leyen.

Empty barrel makes me think d moay noise
Putin is dreaming. US rules the Earth with US dollar and they can print as much as they want. Only third world war can change it.
What a lying title. Putin did not threaten anybody with WW3. He said if Nato sent troops it COULD lead to such. That's why I can't read papers in my own country, they just peddle lies and propaganda.
Wtf is this news spreading fake news n creating chaos
The frensh scared the hell out of putin😂😂😂😂😂
Do not intimidate the World, ever!
And it will be nuclear
let's him try NATO he will be Parish alive in Moscow he thinks that NATO is like Ukraine
A threat display from a pathetic frightened animal watching the wolves close in to eat him.
