  • The threat of nuclear conflict over the Ukraine war is serious, according to Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

  • He said the NATO supply of heavy weapons to Ukraine means it is already in a proxy war with Russia.

  • The Ukrainian Foreign Minister said that the warning was meant to scare the world off.

The risks of a third world war were warned by the Russian Foreign Minister on Monday.

During a state television broadcast, Lavrov was asked about the importance of avoiding World War III and if US-Russia tensions could be compared to the 1962 Cuban missile crisis.

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 that they were a bluff and that the world should not support the country.

The talk of a real danger of WWIII. Kuleba wrote that this means Moscow senses defeat.

In the wake of the invasion of Ukraine, Lavrov had issued veiled warnings about nuclear war.

In early March, two weeks after President Putin placed Russia's nuclear forces on high alert, he said that World War III would involve nuclear weapons.

He downplayed the possibility of a nuclear war, but accused the US and NATO of constantly bringing up the topic.

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.
