Enforcing a no-fly zone above Ukraine could lead to a “third world war” and even nuclear attacks, a top General and the UK Defence Secretary suggested today.
Cabinet minister Ben Wallace defended the UK’s decision not to stop Russian jets carrying out air strikes on Ukrainian civilians.
Hinting at the possibility of nukes, he reminded listeners that Russia is a “nuclear-armed power” which “seems to know no limit”, and pointedly said the Kremlin “may view escalation of all means”.
