Vladimir Putin will spark a third world war if the Russian president is allowed to declare victory in Ukraine, according to the boss of the country’s biggest private employer.

Yuriy Ryzhenkov, chief executive of Metinvest, which ran the sprawling Azovstal steelworks that became the site of a relentless Russian assault at the start of the 2022 invasion, warned of the consequences of a Kremlin victory.

“I don’t believe that if Ukraine fails, Putin will stop,” he said in an interview ahead of the two year anniversary of the war in Ukraine. “The Baltic states, Poland, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia are the next targets.”

North Korea doesn't have a larger army than USA.

The regions at war have declared independence from Ukraine. It's the same situation as America was in, except that France wasn't trying to make the colonies become french. But they certainly expected a high level of control over them.

Comparing it to WW2 is insane, it's not remotely the same situation.
