The risks of a third world war were warned by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Monday.
The importance of avoiding World War III and if US-Russia tensions could be compared to the 1962 Cuban missile crisis were asked during a state television broadcast.
I wouldn't want to elevate those risks artificially. Many people would like that. The danger is real. And we must not underestimate it, according to the outlet.
He portrayed Russia as trying to reduce the risk of a nuclear war.
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization had engaged in war with Russia by supplying heavy weapons to Ukraine, according to the report.
The Foreign Minister of Ukraine, Dmytro Kuleba, responded to the comments by saying they were a bluff.
The talk of a real danger of WWIII. Kuleba wrote that this means Moscow senses defeat.
The invasion of Ukraine has led to veiled warnings about nuclear war.
In early March, two weeks after President Putin placed Russia's nuclear forces on high alert, he said that if World War III were to take place, it would involve nuclear weapons.
He accused the US and NATO of constantly bringing up the topic of a nuclear war in Ukraine.
While the US and UK are sending weapons to Ukraine, there appears to be no change in Russia's nuclear posture.
According to critics, Lavrov is a propaganda mouthpiece for Putin. He claimed in March that Russia did not attack Ukraine, and that the maternity hospital in Mariupol had been taken over by a Ukrainian neo-Nazi militia battalion.
