Vladimir Putin, who was elected as the Russian president for the fifth time, warned Western countries that the presence of Western forces in Ukraine and the intervention of NATO could push the world to the brink of the third world war.
Speaking after his election victory on Sunday evening (March 17), Putin dismissed Western criticism and told his supporters that he had “expected” such a response, according to a foreign news agency report.
Addressing his supporters, he said, ‘What were you expecting from them? Will it clap for us? They are against us, their aim is to limit our progress, so they will say anything.’
Putin said he was making sure the border was protected from attacks by pro-Ukrainian troops, adding that his first task as president was to deal with the war in Ukraine, strengthening the military and improving defenses. .
When asked about the possibility of a direct confrontation with NATO, he replied, “Anything is possible in today’s world. The presence of Western troops in Ukraine could bring the world to the brink of World War III.” But I don’t think anyone wants that.’
It should be remembered that in the presidential elections held in Russia, President Vladimir Putin has been elected as the President of Russia for the fifth time with 87% of the votes.
Other Western countries, including the United States, Britain, Germany, Poland and Ukraine, have refused to recognize the results, calling the elections unfair.
