Vladimir Putin could declare a new world war within days, Britain’s Defence Secretary has warned.
The warning comes after Russia claimed the invasion of Ukraine is likely to end in a nuclear world war.
Defence Secretary Ben Wallace has warned that the Russian tyrant might use traditional Victory Day celebrations on May 9, which commemorate the end of World War Two, to call up troops for a “war with the world’s Nazis”.
He also said Russia’s occupation of Ukraine risked becoming “a sort of cancerous growth” that must be cut out.
It comes after the editor of the state-owned broadcaster RT Margarita Simonyan said in a broadcast that it was “more probable” that the Russian President would launch a nuclear strike than allow Russia to lose the war.
And meanwhile, Putin paraded his military might through Moscow and St Petersburg in a rehearsal for the Victory Day.
