Russia threatens the United States. It's about the start of World War III

Russia threatens the United States. It’s about the start of World War III

The United States is closing in on handing over the Patriot system to Ukraine. Russia, however, explicitly warns against such a move. The Russian Embassy in Washington said it would be “another provocation” which could have “unforeseeable consequences”.

Russia says the United States is “increasingly embroiled in warfare” and “not only causing colossal damage to US-Russian relations, but also posing additional threats to global security.”

Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov in turn said that the Patriot systems, if delivered to Ukraine, would become a legitimate target for the Russian military. The Vice-President of the Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, places the question in the same order of ideas.

In turn, the Federation Council believes that surrendering the Patriots “will bring the world to the brink of World War III.” Russian Senator Vladimir Dzhabarov adds that “the United States is provoking us into a direct conflict with NATO”.

Patriots for Ukraine

Recall that the administration of Joe Biden wants to send air defense systems to the Ukrainians fighting the Russians. According to CNN, work on this issue is coming to an end. The Pentagon’s idea still needs to be cleared by Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin before it can be sent for President Joe Biden’s signature. According to CNN, the president’s approval is awaited.

Meanwhile, Medvedev, referring to these reports, said it was an example of Russophobia practiced by “infirm” members of the US Senate. The politician is also of the opinion that there is a hybrid war between NATO and Russia.

“Today, however, a fundamental question arises: can the Hybrid War, de facto declared to our country by NATO, be considered as the Alliance’s entry into a war with Russia? we consider the delivery of a huge amount of weapons to Ukraine an attack on Russia? asks the former Russian president in his Telegram message.

“The leaders of the NATO countries sing with one voice that their countries and the whole Alliance are not at war with Russia. But everyone knows very well that the matter is different,” Medvedev concluded in his message.
