WW3 ‘will erupt in a year’ as Putin ‘invades three NATO countries’ world | news
A shocking new prediction has emerged showing how Vladimir Putin will start World War Three in less than a year. Ukraine’s respected GUR military intelligence chief, Lieutenant-General Kirill Budanov, claims to have inside information on Russian war plans.
Putin, he said, intends to annex three NATO and EU states in 2027 – Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Russia would also attack Poland; however, it does not intend to invade the country immediately. “ According to the master plan,
The Russian Federation was supposed to be ready to launch the operation in 2030,” said Budanov, whose forces are behind several Ukrainian attacks on Putin’s territory.
“Plans have now been adjusted and revised to reduce the time frame to 2027,” he warned.
Russian military action to invade or attack NATO countries would trigger the alliance’s Article 5, which states that an attack on one member is an attack on all.
obliging others to assist with armed force to restore security. This scenario could potentially ignite a full-scale war.
Putin sees Russia as an “empire”
Mr Budanov said Putin sees Russia as an “empire” that needs to expand, adding that the country’s “worldview” suffers from “deep historical and psychological trauma”, possibly including the collapse of the USSR.
The wise chief said, “For an empire – and they see themselves as an empire – to grow, you always have to be going somewhere to expand your influence and territory.”
Putin, on the other hand, was cornered by the US in the Pacific and elsewhere by China and the Arctic: “Only the West is left,” Mr Budanov said, adding that Putin consistently portrayed Europe as “hungry”, “sick”, “weak” and “indecisive”.
According to the war plan, the three Baltic states – Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania – all ex-Soviet republics – would be “occupied”.
He said, “Poland is now, according to our information, considered for a military operation solely for attacks, without occupation.”
Russia shares borders with the three Baltic states, as it does with Poland.
Putin ruled out new military action when asked by the BBC during his annual quiz on Friday. His condition was that the West should bow to his demands.
He growled, “If you treat us with respect, if you have our interests in mind, just as we have always tried to respect yours, there will be no action.” “And if you do not betray us, as happened with NATO’s eastward expansion.”
The Russian dictator claimed that Western leaders “created this situation themselves and continue to stoke the fire by saying that they are preparing for war with Russia.”
