Vladimir Putin warns World War 3 will be the ‘end of civilisation’
Russia’s leader Vladimir Putin was responding a question during his annual phone-in where he takes questions from the members of the public.
He warned World War 3 would be the end of civlisation, and that should “restrain” world powers fron taking “dangerous steps”.
Relations between Russia and the West have plunged to Cold War lows amid tensions over Syria, Crimea, NATO build-ups and Sergei Skripal.
Putin said pressure on Russia from the West will end when they realise they are “counter productive”.
And he said fears of mutally assured destruction from nuclear is forcing “powers to respect each other”.
He said: “”The understanding that a third world war could be the end of civilisation should restrain us from taking extreme steps on the international arena that are highly dangerous for modern civilisation.”
“The threat of mutual destruction has always restrained participants of the international arena, prevented leading military powers from making hasty moves, and compelled participants to respect each other.
“US withdrawal from treaties on anti-ballistic missiles is an attempt to put an end to strategic parity, but we will respond to this.”
“We believe that the unilateral introduction of all kinds of sanctions does not resolve problems, it only worsens them.”
