Sergei Lavrov, Russia's foreign minister, has warned that Western involvement in Ukraine could escalate the 'Cold War' into a hot conflict, highlighting the risks of further military engagement.
Vladimir Putin 's foreign minister has blamed the West for the 'reincarnation of the Cold War ' and warned that it could turn 'hot' in the latest WW3 rant.
Asked about Western media reports on the topic, Lavrov said: 'All these fantasies are only exacerbating the situation, and show that the people who hold such ideas, prefer not to hear the very clear warnings that President Putin has repeatedly given.'

His rant is the latest stoking WW3 fears and comes after former US Army General tapped to be Donald Trump's special envoy to Ukraine and Russia warned at the end of November 'we're on the precipice of World War III'. 'What you've seen now is they've all joined. You've got an axis together, and they're feeding off one another.'
