Russia has warned the West against provoking 'World War Three' as it accused Nato of 'pouring oil on the fire'
Russia has warned the West against provoking "World War Three" as it accused Nato leaders of "pouring oil on the fire" by providing weapons to Ukraine.Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, who was asked about the importance of avoiding World War Three, said the risks are "now considerable" and "serious".
Putin said the Sarmat missile would provide "food for thought for those who try to threaten Russia", raising concerns that conflict in Ukraine could escalate further in coming days.Armed Forces minister James Heappey told LBC earlier that he backed reports that Ukraine appears to be "launching strikes into Russia to go after their supply lines".
Asked about Lavrov's comments, the armed forces minister said it was not Nato as an organisation donating arms. The war has ripped through Ukraine for more than two months, killing thousands of civilians and destroying the country's infrastructure.
