EXCLUSIVE: Why Vladimir Putin is Hiking World War Three Fears With 'Unimaginable' Strike on the West
Experts warn recent moves are adding to a climate of rising unease.
Vladimir Putin is fueling renewed fears of a potential global conflict as Western security experts warn the Russian leader could unleash an “unimaginable” strike against Europe and NATO allies if tensions continue to escalate.
The despot, 73, has presided over Russia since 1999 in various leadership roles and remains at the center of the war in Ukraine, which began with Moscow’s full-scale invasion in February 2022.
His conflict has dragged on for more than four years, intensifying geopolitical strain between Russia and the West.
Recent incidents – including the interception of vessels believed to be part of Russia’s so-called “shadow fleet” by the United Kingdom – have heightened tensions further.
