Threat of global war ‘serious and real,’ Poland’s Tusk warns

by host

Russian President Vladimir Putin confirmed early Friday that Moscow fired a new intermediate-range hypersonic ballistic missile into Ukraine on Thursday in response to Kyiv’s use of advanced weapons provided by the United States and the United Kingdom earlier this week.

Responding to Putin’s announcement, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia’s decision was a sign of “how scared” the Kremlin is of Kyiv.

The Polish prime minister is not the only one to see the escalating conflict between Russia and Ukraine in ominous terms. A top U.K. military chief said on Thursday that Britain’s armed forces would be ready to fight the Russian army “tonight” if Putin invades another Eastern European nation.

Ukraine’s former military commander-in-chief, Valery Zaluzhny, said on Thursday that “we can absolutely believe that the Third World War has begun,” as Russia is being helped in its war by soldiers from North Korea, drones from Iran and weapons from China.
