Russian President Vladimir Putin stated a full-scale battle with NATO can’t be dominated out at a press convention in Moscow to mark his victory in a presidential election rife with allegations of rigging.
Within the occasion of a large-scale battle with NATO, the world could be only one step from a 3rd world warfare, Putin was quoted by the state company TASS on Sunday night. “I believe it's unlikely that anybody is taken with that.”
In response to Putin, many troopers from NATO member states are already deployed in Ukraine.
“We already know this,” he stated including that the French and English language was already heard on the battlefield.
“That is nothing good, particularly for them, as a result of they’re dying right here in massive numbers,” Putin stated – with out substantiating this declare.
Ukraine has been defending itself towards Russia with Western support for greater than two years.
Russia's Electoral Fee stated Putin gained a file results of slightly below 88% of the vote, after practically 1 / 4 of the votes had been counted. Within the earlier presidential election in 2018, he gained with 76.7% of the votes.
No real opposition candidate was allowed to face within the three-day vote.
