Ukraine’s admission to NATO could trigger a third world war, the Deputy Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, Alexander Venediktov, warned on Thursday.
In an interview with the Russian state-owned news agency Tass, Venediktov said that NATO itself is fully aware of the consequences of Ukraine being accepted into the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
Ukraine’s application for a fast-track NATO membership is “rather a propaganda move,” Venediktov claimed.
“Kyiv is well aware that such a step would mean a guaranteed escalation to a World War Three.”
“Apparently, that’s what they are counting on—to create informational noise and draw attention to themselves once again,” Venediktov noted.
“But given that many members of the Kyiv regime are out of touch with reality, I wouldn’t be surprised if some people out there really expect their country to be admitted to NATO,” he said.
