Perhaps the Ukrainian ‘Iron General’ is right, and kinetic World War III really has begun.
Perhaps it’s just his wishful thinking as his country loses the war.
In the last few days, the escalations in the war have come fast and furious: Ukraine shot US-authorized ATACMS and British-authorized Storm Shadows at targets inside Russian territory.
Russia then retaliated with Oreshnik (Hazel), a hypersonic ballistic missile, leveling an industrial zone in Dnipropetrovsk.
All this happens while Russian Federation forces have quickened the pace of their territorial conquests all across the frontline.
Now, it arises that Ukraine’s former military Commander-in-Chief – and current UK ambassador – Valery Zaluzhny, has said that the direct involvement of Russia’s allies in the war signals that World War III has begun.
Politico reported:
“’I believe that in 2024 we can absolutely believe that the Third World War has begun’, said Zaluzhny, who is now Ukraine’s envoy to the United Kingdom, during a speech at Ukrainska Pravda’s UP100 award ceremony.
‘Because in 2024, Ukraine is no longer facing Russia. Soldiers from North Korea are standing in front of Ukraine. Let’s be honest. Already in Ukraine, the Iranian ‘Shahedis’ are killing civilians absolutely openly, without any shame’, said Zaluzhny, adding that North Korean and Chinese weapons are flying into Ukraine.”

The thing is: the entry of NATO in the war is something that the Kiev regime actively wants.
So, of course, Zaluzhny urged Ukraine’s allies to ‘draw the right conclusions’.
“’It is still possible to stop it here, on the territory of Ukraine. But for some reason our partners do not want to understand this. It is obvious that Ukraine already has too many enemies. Ukraine will survive with technology, but it is not clear whether it can win this battle alone’, he said.”
Last year he infuriated Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, by comparing the state of the conflict to ‘a stalemate like World War I’.
“Zelenskyy fired Zaluzhny in February after rising tensions between the two on how the war in Ukraine should be fought — as well as Zaluzhny’s growing popularity, which made him a potential political threat.”
