WW3 WILL BEGIN IF \'WEST KEEPS ALLOWING UKRAINE TO ATTACK RUSSIA\' WARNS PUTIN ALLY Your Way To Success

A key ally of Vladimir Putin has warned that the 'west' risk starting WW3 if it continues to support Ukraine

Aclose ally of Vladimir Putin, Sergei Chemezov, has issued a stark warning to the West, stating that it risks sparking a third World War if Ukraine's assault on Russian territory continues. Chemezov, who is also the CEO of Rostec corporation, a major supplier of Russia's arms for the war, expressed confidence in Russia's position more than two years into its brutal invasion of Ukraine.

The former KGB general echoed the Kremlin's stance that the conflict is essentially a battle between the West and Russia. He criticized the US for fuelling the conflict by supplying weapons to Kyiv and allowing strikes deep into Russia, and warned of the increasing risk of a global conflict.

Putin declared last week that Russian forces would drive Ukrainian troops out of Russian sovereign territory, but they remain within Russia's borders.

In June, the Russian leader warned that he could deploy conventional missiles within striking distance of the West if they allowed Ukraine to penetrate deeper into Russia with long-range Western weapons, reports The Daily Mail.

The autocrat asserts that the invasion of Ukraine is part of an existential struggle against a declining and decadent West, which he accuses of humiliating Russia after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 by encroaching on what he views as Moscow's sphere of influence, including Ukraine.

Moscow alleges that the West was complicit in planning for Ukraine's assault on the Kursk region. Western powers, keen to avoid direct military conflict with Russia, have refuted this and accuse Russia of fuelling the war.

Chemezov, 71, found himself under American and EU sanctions following Russia's annexation of Crimea from Ukraine in 2014. He dismissed as a 'myth' the notion that Russian shop shelves were empty due to sanctions and increased defense spending. "Go to any Russian hypermarket and see for yourself - everything is fine," he said.

Sanctions have disrupted supply chains, forcing Rostec to adjust deadlines for the Yakovlev MC-21 airliner and to substitute about 40 imported components in the Superjet-100, but none of this is fatal for Russia or Rostec, he asserted. Rostec's workforce is set to increase by tens of thousands this year, according to the company's CEO. He views the exit of Western companies like Boeing and Airbus from the Russian market as an 'opportunity' for Rostec, expressing his gratitude for the situation.

"We have weathered the main storm. We've managed to turn the situation to our advantage and draw necessary conclusions. One of them being: no more joint ventures based on trust with Western countries," stated Chemezov.

Russia ranks third in the world for arms exports, trailing behind the US and France. However, its global market share dipped in 2023 due to the conflict in Ukraine, as reported by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI).
