Putin official says NATO and US are now at full war with Russia
Russian and British warnings of war followed days after the former US Army General tapped to be Donald Trump ‘s special envoy to Ukraine and Russia declared last week ‘we’re on the precipice of World War III’ as he outlined a plan to end the war by forcing both sides to the negotiating table. Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg, 80, told Fox News of the precarious geopolitical circumstances after Putin launched the Oreshnik missile for the first time. The retired general, who also served as a national security adviser in Trump’s previous administration, said: ‘I don’t think World War III has begun, but we’re right on the precipice .’
Dmitry Medvedev, a close ally of Vladimir Putin and the Deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council, recently declared that NATO and the US are now at “full war” with Russia. This statement came after the West allowed Ukraine to use long-range missiles, which Medvedev claims has crossed “all red lines”. He emphasized that every Ukrainian strike on Russian territory with Western weapons would be met with a response, changing the rules of engagement and proving that NATO and Washington are not just participating in a hybrid war, but a war in every sense of the word1.
Medvedev’s comments were echoed by former MI6 chief Sir Richard Dearlove, who admitted that Britain must face the fact that the Kremlin feels it is fighting a war with the West, rather than just Ukraine. This development has raised concerns about the potential for further escalation and the possibility of direct confrontations between Russia and NATO1.
The situation remains tense, with both sides preparing for the possibility of further conflict. Russia has warned that it could begin striking “decision-making centres” in Kyiv if Ukraine continues to hit targets in Russia with US and UK missiles. This escalation has led to increased fears of a broader conflict that could have significant global implications1.
