As the Russia-Ukraine war escalates, tensions arise across the world about whether this can turn into “World War 3”. Russia has been stringently invading Ukraine; despite assertions from the US, the UK the EU, and other nations. So, would Putin’s attempt to invade Ukraine lead to World War 3? Only time can tell!
Several political and war experts suggest that if Russia employs its nuclear weaponry, the conflict can turn into a global war. On the other hand, the US is sanctioning Russia’s exports of oil and gas in an attempt to terrify Putin of repercussions of his actions.
However, Putin has made it clear that if NATO and other allies keep helping Ukraine, the war wouldn’t stop. If NATO denies Ukraine the membership, Putin may take the troops back, and thus the US and other allies would suspend sanctions.
