Russia-Nato conflict is just one-step from to WW3

ladimir Putin warned that a direct confrontation between Russia and NATO would be “one step away from a full-scale World War III” in a speech following his reelection on Monday.

“I think hardly anyone is interested in this,” Putin added.

The three-day vote, which wrapped up Sunday, saw Putin face no credible opposition. Western countries and election watchdogs have been quick to call it a “sham” contest.
