A Russian victory in Ukraine could lead to World War III, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal has said.
Should Kyiv be defeated in the full-scale invasion launched by Russia in February 2022, “the global system of security will be destroyed… and all the world will need to find… a new system of security,” Shmyhal said in an interview Wednesday with the BBC in Washington, D.C.
“Or, there will be many conflicts, many such kinds of wars, and in the end of the day, it could lead to the Third World War,” he added.
This is a breaking news story and it will be updated.
