Global Network quoted Reuters news that former Russian President and current Vice Chairman of the Russian Federation Security Council Medvedev warned that any infringement of NATO member states on the Crimean Peninsula would be a threat to that country. "Constitutes a declaration of war against Russia" and may lead to "the outbreak of World War III." In fact, recently, after receiving a new batch of advanced Western weapons, Ukraine has repeatedly raised the issue of the Crimean Peninsula and threatened to blow up the Crimean Bridge and "strike Russian targets". This puts the situation at risk of escalating again.
Since Finland and Sweden proposed to join NATO, and Lithuania cut off some material transportation between the Russian mainland and the "enclave" Kaliningrad , Russia and its allies Belarus responded quickly. In response, Russia has strengthened its defense forces on its western border and is preparing to deploy "Iskander-M" missiles in Belarus, which will bring many Eastern and Central European countries within the range.
NATO is also shipping more and more advanced equipment to Ukraine. In addition to the previously announced "Haimas" multiple rocket launchers, "Harpoon" anti-ship missiles, NASAMS air defense systems, etc., the Ukrainian army also obtained main battle tanks, PzH2000 self-propelled artillery, M777 howitzers , etc., and the Western military aid There is a tendency to continue to overweight.
It can be said that Eastern Europe is increasingly becoming a new "powder keg", and all forces want to wade into the "muddy waters" of the Russia-Ukraine conflict in order to seek their own interests. From a certain perspective, this situation is quite similar to the Balkans before the outbreak of World War I. It is no wonder that Medvedev mentioned the Third World War, and Crimea may be " fuse".
In fact, Crimea is indeed a sensitive location. Since the referendum was voted into Russia in 2014, it has still not been recognized by Western countries. The United States, which has always liked to divide other countries on the grounds of " the right to self-determination", has always emphasized the so-called "respect for Ukraine's national sovereignty" in this matter, and its double standards are clearly visible.
At present, it seems that Russia has been jokingly called a "paper tiger" by some Western media because it did not "swallow Ukraine in one bite." But in fact, Western countries have also exposed their own fragile side. Not only have many countries encountered a series of energy crises, food crises, and refugee crises due to sanctions against Russia, but their arsenals have also been greatly consumed by supporting Ukraine. If a war breaks out with Russia at this time, the outcome is still unknown.
It was different from the situation before the outbreak of World War I and World War . The countries that took the initiative to start a world war all had huge territorial ambitions and confidence in achieving complete victory. Looking at today's global environment, which country has the confidence to think that it can defeat all possible opponents? Even if it were as powerful as the United States, it would be difficult for it to say such a thing. Therefore, whether the West is going to detonate the "fuse" of Crimea and bring about a wider disaster, it really needs to be weighed...
