Vladimir Putin will spark a third world war if the Russian president is allowed to declare victory in Ukraine, according to the boss of the country’s biggest private employer.

Yuriy Ryzhenkov, chief executive of Metinvest, which ran the sprawling Azovstal steelworks that became the site of a relentless Russian assault at the start of the 2022 invasion, warned of the consequences of a Kremlin victory.

“I don’t believe that if Ukraine fails, Putin will stop,” he said in an interview ahead of the two year anniversary of the war in Ukraine. “The Baltic states, Poland, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia are the next targets.”

    But we have zero reason to believe he wants to do so,

    Well, the present events seem to refute what you are saying.

      Taking 10% of Ukraine in order to control a highly important sea refutes me?

        What refutes you is the fact that Putin take territories that are not Russia. Plain and simple.

        While we have proof that he is willing to take something, we have not proof that he will stop after this time (which is, btw, the second time he pull the trick)
