Lukashenko responds to drastically ratcheting sanctions on Moscow by the West.

Belarus President, Alexander Lukashenko says the West is pushing Russia into & “Third World War.” President Lukashenko disclosed this while responding to the drastically ratcheting sanctions being slapped on Moscow as the West is increasingly unified behind the move to block Russia’s SWIFT access as well as measures against its central bank.

He warned that NATO countries are pushing Russia into a “third world war”. The words came just as Putin placed his nuclear force posture on “high alert” Sunday over what he called “aggressive statements” by NATO top officials.

However, a statement from the United Nations says the possibility of nuclear conflict is “inconceivable.”
