Ukraine’s entry into NATO would result in the start of World War III. The deputy secretary of the Russian security council, Alexander Venediktov, is not too worried about this and, in an interview with the Tass agency, comments on the application for admission to the Kiev Atlantic Pact. Ukraine “is well aware that such a step would mean an escalation destined to trigger World War III. Apparently, that’s what they’re counting on: creating a resonance in the information sector to keep attention on themselves,” Venediktov said. , who also reiterated the Russian position that the West, by helping Ukraine, would make it clear that it was “a party to the conflict”.
The deputy secretary of the Security Council declared himself in favor of a diplomatic solution to the ongoing war with Ukraine, but without compromising his own security. Russia – he said – “does not want to tear anyone to pieces”, but “to coexist peacefully with Ukraine and all of Europe, but not at the expense of its own security”.
Meanwhile, there is great anticipation for the meeting between the presidents of Russia and Turkey, Vladimir Putin and Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Today in Astana they will discuss the war in Ukraine and a possible negotiation between Moscow and the West. The bilateral meeting, which will take place on the sidelines of the Conference on Interaction and Confidence Measures in Asia (CICA), which will be attended by more than twenty heads of state and government, will be the fourth between the two leaders this year.
