Putin threatens with World War III in case of conflict with NATO

Interfax reports.

"I think everything is possible in the modern world," Putin emphasized in response to a question about the possibility of a full-scale conflict between Russia and NATO.

He added that this could result in World War III. 

"It is clear to everyone that this would be just one step away from a full-scale Third World War," Putin explained, adding that, in his opinion, "hardly anyone is interested in that."

• Germany's intelligence services have analyzed military threats from the Russian Federation and predicted that it could attack the territory of NATO member states in 2026.
